Tectonics review
... I do not know the two field areas proposed from personal experience. However, my knowledge of other exposures of (upper) mantle suggests that whilst some lithologies are indeed relatively simple, others are much more complex. For example, similar metre-scale, and larger, isoclinal folds of orthopyro ...
