Abstract
Plastic deformation of quartz has been produced experimentally under high confining pressures and crushed fragments of such samples have been observed in the electron microscope. In order to relate experimentally produced plastic deformation to that occurring in quartz aggregates or rocks, it is desirable to have samples taken from standard petrographic thin sections so that deformation textures can be observed optically and then areas selected for electron microscopic observation. In the present study, such specimens were made from sections of quartzite, mylonite and flint rocks and from an experimentally deformed single crystal specimen of quartz.
