Asymmetrically zoned plutons have been mapped in many parts of the world. And whereas many of these are asymmetrical for reasons unrelated to regional tectonic environment, there are large areas in which the majority of asymmetric plutons are asymmetric in the same direction. In these ``domains'' of asymmetry either the mechanisms of emplacement, or post-emplacement deformation have produced a systematic exposure orientation. Recognition of these domains may lead to discovery of the tectonic mechanisms responsible for systematic orientation. Ultimately domains of pluton asymmetry may serve to identify the manner of tectonic emplacement or post-emplacement deformation.
