Schematic of subduction interface shear zone (SISZ) with oblique foliation following X–Y planar trajectory of finite strain ellipsoid and boudin trains of stretched competent layers. While boudins elongate parallel to the maximum finite extension, X, the internal stress state within boudins (shown in inset) arising from fibre stresses differs markedly from the far-field stress field driving thrust-sense shear across the SISZ
