}Abstract Shear structures from mantle to middle crust levels of the Kohistan palaeo-island arc, in Pakistan, are described. Pre-Himalayan ductile shear zones show a wide variety in size and shape, and developed from gabbro subsolidus to amphibolite facies conditions. Their lithological context and geological history give insights into mechanisms that initiate shear strain localization, factors that control stabilization of deformation in shear zones and flow properties at the mantle-crust…
