Abstract
One of the fundamental elements of the movement history of a deformed rock is the path of relative displacement of adjacent constituent particles during deformation. The orientation of such slip lines relative to the fabric elements of various groups of mesoscopic structures and to macroscopic structural complexes is of principal concern to this study. The methods of gathering this information that have been used in Trollheimen are described here in detail.
