Abstract

We here present an extensive set of digital images of deformation microstructures to serve as learning objects for undergraduate structural geology classes. Each image is accompanied by explanatory text and some are linked to Flash animations.

Keywords: microstructures, photomicrographs, deformation mechanisms, microtectonics
