The ensuing formation of "bladed mat" texture (antigorite) may have resulted from the in-homogeneous response of the serpentinites to the regional greenschist facies metamorphism. "Disturbed" varieties of all of the foregoing textures are probably the result of the regional D2 movements. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
