The data are the mechanical data on the deformation of olivine micropillars that analyzed in the manuscript with title above.

Plate tectonics is foundational to virtually all geologic phenomena on Earth and is widely considered to be an important factor promoting Earth’s habitability. However, E[...]

Dynamic boundaries comprised of brittle faults and ductile shear zones are an essential feature of Earth-like plate tectonics. The intermixing of mineral phases that have[...]

Quartz is an abundant mineral in Earth’s crust whose mechanical behavior plays a significant role in the deformation of the continental lithosphere. However, the ductile [...]

The deformation of the Earth’s continental crust depends largely on the mechanical properties of quartz and feldspar, including both brittle and ductile mechanisms. Howev[...]

This dataset is for the manuscript "Microstructural Evolution of Micaceous Mylonites." In this study, we conducted deformation experiments (up to shear strains of γ>1[...]

With the recognition that the mineral talc is common in the cores of many exhumed faults, it has been suggested that talc may be important to the dynamics and modulation [...]

Antigorite is a hydrous layer silicate with strongly anisotropic seismic and rheological properties. Hydrous minerals such as antigorite have been widely invoked to expla[...]
