Constrains on vorticity and non-coaxial shear direction in Neoarchean L-S tectonites, an example from northern Minnesota, USA (vol 256, pg 189, 2015)

•We examine microstructural fabrics in seven Neoarchean LS-tectonite samples.•We compare LS-tectonite microstructural fabrics to three monoclinic shear models.•We determine that non-coaxial shear direction is parallel to elongation lineation.•Non-coaxial shear direction is parallel to elongation despite varying lineation geographic orientation.
