Temperature-dependent structural and textural features of the studied rock samples.

Rock typeMineralogical and/or petrographic featuresCharacteristic temperature (°C)

Permian siliciclastic rocks; ~300
Slaty appearance, domainal spaced cleavage, and fibrous strain shadows subparallel to the foliation>200–250

Permian ignimbritesDisjunctive foliation and strain shadows>200–250
Undulatory extinction and deformation lamellae in quartz>200, generally 300–400
Mechanical twins in replacement dolomite> 300
Inherited blue to red CL colors of quartz<500

Lower Triassic siliciclastic rocksDeformation lamellae in both the original quartz grain and its overgrowth>200, generally 300–400
Thick () twins in replacement carbonate>200, generally 200–300 (valid and calibrated in the case of calcite)
