Abstract: Based on thermoluminescent age data accumulated for several years and the results of experiments at different P, T condition simulating faulting process, this paper states that the frictional heating caused by faulting may lead to the "annealing" of original ther-moluminescence of some minerals on the fault plane or even within the fault zone. The applicability of TL technique to dating episodes of faulting has been discussed as well.
