This study focused on the structure and petrology of a retrograded eclogite-facies shear zone in Nusfjord, Flakstadøy in the Lofoten Islands, northern Norway. My goals were to: 1) evaluate the nature of the protoliths both within and next to the shear zone; 2) quantify the deformation kinematics of...
