The results of large strain deformation studies of polycrystalline magnesium are reported. Shear zones develop at temperatures below 0.65 Tm for strain rates between 10-4-10-5 s-1. The zones are characterised by small recrystallised grains and are analogues of mylonite zones in crustal and mantle rocks. Their development is marked by a stress drop but the recrystallised grains in the zones do not re-equilibrate and remain equilibrated to the peak stress. However, the recrystallised grains in the areas bordering the shear zones undergo a strain dependent coarsening and their sizes re-equilibrate to the relaxed stresses at natural strains of 1. The geological implications of these results are discussed.
