Microstructural analysis of oriented cores in Bou El Jaj district (Hercynian Central Massif, Morocco)

This paper presents the microtectonic study based on oriented thinsections, one of the keys to understand the structural model proposedin the Bou El Jaj (BLJ) sector, located in the NE termination of the Cen-tral Hercynian massif of Morocco.

Sumario:This paper presents the microtectonic study based on oriented thinsections, one of the keys to understand the structural model proposedin the Bou El Jaj (BLJ) sector, located in the NE termination of the Cen-tral Hercynian massif of Morocco. Oriented thin sections from a varietyof structural domains based on bedding and structures orientation havebeen examined from around the two prospects of the (BLJ) tin depositin order to determine the deformation history of these rocks hostingthis ore body. Three ductile deformation phases have been detected andone brittle deformation characterized by extensional jogs associatedwith conjugate tourmalinzed structures oriented N035 and N070
