Dear Michel, Slickensides are formed whenever two tectonic plates or two beds are forced under great pressure against one another, often this is the case in mountain formation and in earthquakes of a large magnitude. I have several samples from around the world. It can also be observed in meteorites such as Zag. Sorry I don't have any references here in Tokyo. I can provide photos if given some time. Sincerely, Dirk Ross
