説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We have reanalyzed samples previously used for a quartz recrystallized grain size paleopiezometer, using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Recrystallized and relict grains are separated using their grain orientation spread, which acts as a measure of intragranular lattice distortion and a proxy for dislocation density. For EBSD maps made with a 1 μm step size, the piezometer relationship is <jats:styled-content><jats:italic>D</jats:italic> = 10<jats:sup>3.91 ± 0.41</jats:sup> ∙ <jats:italic>σ</jats:italic><jats:sup>−1.41 ± 0.21</jats:sup></jats:styled-content> (for root‐mean‐square mean diameter values). We also present a “sliding resolution” piezometer relationship, <jats:styled-content><jats:italic>D</jats:italic> = 10<jats:sup>4.22 ± 0.51</jats:sup> ∙ <jats:italic>σ</jats:italic><jats:sup>−1.59 ± 0.26</jats:sup></jats:styled-content>, that combines 1 μm step size data at coarser grain sizes with 200 nm step size data at finer grain sizes. The sliding resolution piezometer more accurately estimates stress in fine‐grained (<10 μm) samples. The two calibrations give results within 10% of each other for recrystallized grain sizes between 10 μm and 100 μm. Both piezometers match the original light optical microscopy quartz piezometer within error.</jats:p>
