Wuling, Backbone Range: Miocene slates

The slate unit at Wuling area (see Fig. 7 for stop location) is typical of the Western Backbone Range and is characterized by northwest-vergent folds with moderately southeast-dipping axial planes and northeast-trending fold axes. Folds are tight to isoclinal, and cleavage varies from axial planar to convergent fanning in sandstones and divergent fanning in slates. The slaty cleavage is associated with a downdip lineation which is parallel to the stretching direction indicated by distributed fibrous overgrowths and elongate chlorite-mica aggregates (Figs. 2 and 3). These microfabrics are ubiquitous throughout the schists and slates of the Central Range. Pyrite pressure shadows record diffusive mass transfer and growth of syntectonic fibers that record progressive changes in the incremental extension direction. In this area, these fabrics display noncoaxial strain histories consistent with west-directed thrusting as is typical of most of the prowedge. Chlorite mica aggregates that define the stretching lineation form by crack seal growth of detrital seed nuclei (Clark and Fisher, 1995). The individual porphyroclasts are ellipsoidal, with long, intermediate, and minor axes parallel to the principal axes of the finite strain ellipse. In this area, these features record extension parallel to the dip direction. Another feature common to this part of the Backbone Range is the appearance of a crenulation cleavage that is steeper than the earlier slaty cleavage.
