Melt Network Reorientation and Crystallographic Preferred Orientation Development in Sheared Partially Molten Rocks

We investigated the co‐evolution of melt, shape, and crystallographic preferred orientations (MPOs, SPOs, and CPOs) in experimentally deformed partially molten rocks, from which we calculated the influence of MPO and CPO on seismic anisotropy. Olivine‐basalt aggregates containing 2 to 4 wt% melt wer...

Description
Summary:We investigated the co‐evolution of melt, shape, and crystallographic preferred orientations (MPOs, SPOs, and CPOs) in experimentally deformed partially molten rocks, from which we calculated the influence of MPO and CPO on seismic anisotropy. Olivine‐basalt aggregates containing 2 to 4 wt% melt were deformed in general shear at a temperature of 1,250°C under a confining pressure of 300 MPa at shear stresses of τ  ≤ 175 MPa to shear strains of γ  ≤ 2.3. Grain‐scale melt pockets developed a MPO parallel to the loading direction by γ
