Abstract: | Transmission electron microscopy has been used for the direct observation of dislocations in naturally-deformed olivine. The dislocations are arranged in arrays forming low-angle sub-boundaries which have been identified with features observed in the optical microscope. Comparison of this dislocation substructure with that observed in olivine, and in metals, experimentally deformed under various conditions, suggests that the deformation in nature has occurred by creep. Possible mechanisms of creep, involving the cooperative glide and climb of dislocations, are discussed. |
