Abstract Three generations of mylonites discovered in the northern Prince Charles Mountains (nPCM) are associated with episodes of crustal thickening and thinning. First‐generation mylonites (MY1) are shallow thrusts which pre‐date both folding and peak metamorphic conditions, and formed during earl...
