in this paper, heterogeneous simple shear model kinematic indicators are used to determine the presence of a shearing event in gorham township of thunder bay.  field observations combined with microscopic analysis reveal that highly complex shearing occurred in this area possibly as a result of transpressional effects.  four exposures were studied and data collected from these support the view that mylonites are a common occurrence in shear zones and act as a method by which deformation of this nature can occur.
