Abstract

The distribution and form of the products of migmatization in the area are described and the close relationship between migmatization and folding in time and space is demonstrated. Synoptic diagrams of the linear structural elements for various parts of the area are given. The sheaves of β-axes, small folds and lineations widen with increase in migmatization, presumably due to increasing mobility of the rocks during the migmatization process.
