Mechanical data.

Panel (a) Evolution of the shear stress and slip rate in experiments with increasing slips of 1.5 mm (red in colour), 5 mm (green), 50 mm (blue). Slip zones of experiments s915_1 (1.5 mm) and s761 (5 mm) were recovered for microstructural analysis (Figs 3, 4, 5). Panel (b) Zoom of the first 5 mm of slip where the velocity threshold for weakening (V*) is indicated by dashed lines.
