Abstract

Quartz-magnetite rocks occur as lenses in an area of migmatitic mica gneiss and have acted as resisters to deformation as well as migmatization. Due to plastic deformation in the enclosing gneisses a quartzite lens now strikes perpendicular to the trend of other resisters which are abruptly truncated.
