The exposed base of a collapsing wedge: The Nestos Shear Zone (Rhodope Metamorphic Province, Greece)

The Nestos Shear Zone (NSZ) in the Rhodope Metamorphic Province is a major high‐strain zone between two metamorphic terranes. Microdiamond‐bearing ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) rocks occur in the NSZ which was therefore interpreted as a suture zone where subduction and exhumation of these rocks and terra...
