"The continental crust preserves ancient metamorphic terrains that record repeated periods of tectonic rejuvenation. Shear zones commonly represent sites of crustal reworking where new structural fabrics, new mineral growth and chemical alteration occur. Deformation, metamorphism and alteration within shear zones are facilitated by the presence of fluids. This study investigates of the role of fluids in middle crustal reworking by examining shear zones in central Australia." - Abstract,
