Episodic Slow Slip Hosted by Talc‐Bearing Metasomatic Rocks: High Strain Rates and Stress Amplification in a Chemically Reacting Shear Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Episodic tremor and slow slip (ETS) downdip of the subduction seismogenic zone are poorly understood slip behaviors of the seismic cycle. Talc, a common metasomatic mineral at the subduction interface, is suggested to host slow slip but this hypothesis ...

Metamorphic dolomitic marble-hosted talc from the Mulvoj area in the Western Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan

Mineralogia, 2023
Talc is crystallized in the metamorphic dolomitic rocks of the southwest Pamir mountains in the Mulvoj area, Tajikistan. Field studies show that talc is restricted to metamorphic dolomitic marble layers in the garnet-mica schist and gneiss.
