In fact, only the final paper considers the significance of the formation for engineering and applied geology. The other 12 look at melange generation in oceanic fracture zones in abyssal settings, melange formation associated with subduction initiation, and melange development in subduction-accretion complexes and in collisional settings. Among specific topics are implications of mixed provenance for serpentinite matrix melange formation, constraints on the evolution of the Mesohellenic Ophiolite from subophiolitic metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary block-in-matrix fabric affected by tectonic shear at the Miocene Nabae complex in Japan. The papers originated at a session of the Society's 2007 annual meeting in Denver. They are not indexed. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
