Constraining absolute deformation ages: The relationship between deformation mechanisms and isotope systematics
Isotope diffusion in a mineral is strongly temperature dependent but is also a function of grain size. Deformation must, therefore, be an important consideration in the interpretation of isotopic data because it provides a means of modifying grain size and shape. We illustrate the range of different...
