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
