Fig. 8: Schematic mineral growth and deformation evolution during progressive reaction of serpentinite to listvenite in sheared intervals of Hole BT1B.

While the sketch illustrates the temporal evolution from reaction stages I–IV, these likely occurred simultaneously across an advancing reaction front, with strain partitioned into the weak, serpentine-bearing and fluid saturated reacting assemblages (Stages II and III). Talc and opal, which may have formed locally during stages II/III and IV, respectively, are omitted in the sketch.
