Abstract
During deformation of 5 × 5 × 0.1 mm samples of carnallite and bischofite in transmitted light, the development of the microstructure was followed by time-lapse photography. In dry samples, carnallite deforms by mechanical twinning, intracrystalline slip and by cataclastic processes. The addition of brine strongly enhances dynamic recrystallization by
