Abstract
SUMMARY Inclusion textures within garnets are often used to demonstrate the relationship in time between garnet growth and deformation. The evidence for syntectonic growth is discussed, and it is shown that several thin sections are required before an accurate interpretation can be made. The patterns predicted by Powell & Treagus (1967) are matched with natural examples, and a mechanism for the aevelopment of these fabrics is suggested.Keywords
