Journal Article
Holdsworth, R., Tavarnelli, E., Clegg, P., Pinheiro, R., Jones, R., & McCaffrey, K. (2002). Domainal deformation patterns and strain partitioning during transpression: an example from the Southern Uplands terrane, Scotland.

The partitioning of deformation into wrench- and contraction-dominated deformation domains is a widely reported but poorly described phenomenon in ancient transpression zones. This paper documents spectacularly exposed examples of such partitioning f...
