Domino structure in shear corridor | 360 million years
Some sectors of the Santa Justa Formation quartzites preserve domino structures that result from sinestrogiro shear corridors related to the first phase of Varisca deformation. These structures result from normal parallel faults that rotate during the movement provoked by the shear corridors.
