Lithostructural studies in this area, hassuggested, often controversial, deformational regimes and geodynamic evolution models. In this study, we suggest the existence of an initial tangential D-1 deformation and transpressional D-2 deformational phases. D-1 is characterized by an initial metamorphic schistosity denoted as S-1 and by F-1 folds with the main shortening stress direction generally oriented in NW-SE direction. D-2 in the study area is divided into two stages. The first stage designated as D-2a is coaxial and compressive in nature. It is characterized by a N-S to NNE-SSW trending metamorphic schistosity termed 5(2a). The D-2a phase evolves gradually to a transcurrent phase connoted as D-2b and characterized by a NNE-SSW S-2b metamorphic schistosity which is axial planar to the F-2b folds with subvertical fold axes. During the D-2 phase, the main shortening stress direction rotates gradually in a clockwise motion from an E-W to a NW-SE direction within a continuum of deformation. The third deformation phase D-3 in the Diale-Dalerna basin, is also divided into two stages, thus D-3a and D-3b. D-3a is transcurrent and transtensive in nature and is characterized by NE-SW sinistral shear corridors with local extensional jogs. During this deformation stage, the maximum shortening stress (sigma(1)) direction acts in a N-S direction and rotate to a NE-SW direction, thereby creating a N-S transcurrent dextral shear corridors. D-3b component of the D-3 deformation is compressive in nature with a weak sinistral shear component. The D-4 corresponds to a N-S extensional phase which is characterized by E-W directed normal faults. D-4 in the study area denotes the final stage of the evolution of the Eburnean orogeny in the KM. %$ 064
