A volume of rock involved in deformation and metamorphism will continuously undergo changes in structure and mineral content. This chapter treats mineral growth and replacement structures and the way in which their geometry can be used to reconstruct tectonic history. Two types of informative structures are treated: porphyroblasts and reaction rims.
