Mechanisms of Aqueous Fluid Infiltration and Redistribution in a Lower‐Crustal Pseudotachylyte‐Bearing Fault

Abstract Coseismic fracturing in the strong, dry, and metastable plagioclase‐rich lower‐crust is an effective mechanism for creating pathways for fluids to infiltrate the host rock, kick‐start metamorphism, and potentially lead to rheological weakening. In this study, we have characterized the damag...
