Geology and Evolution of the Southern Dead Sea Fault with Emphasis on Subsurface Structure

, 2008
The Dead Sea Fault is an active transform fault linking opening in the Red Sea with collision in the Taurus/Zagros Mountains. Motion is left-lateral and estimated at approximately 5–7 mm year −1 .

Geology of the Haiyuan Fault Zone, Ningxia‐Hui Autonomous Region, China, and its relation to the evolution of the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau

, 1991
The Haiyuan area, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in north central China, provides a laboratory for studying how the plateau has grown in late Cenozoic time. Rocks in the area range from pre-Silurian (Precambrian?) to Recent;

Geology of Panamint Valley ‐ Saline Valley Pull‐Apart System, California: Palinspastic evidence for low‐angle geometry of a Neogene Range‐Bounding Fault

, 1987
Geological studies support the interpretation that northern Panamint Valley and Saline Valley, southeast California, form paired pull-apart basins on opposite sides of the right-slip Hunter Mountain Fault Zone.

New insights into the Appalachian Orogen from geology and geochronology along the Cape Ray fault zone, southwest Newfoundland

, 1996
Reverse-oblique overthrusting of high-grade Port aux Basques Gneiss over the lower-grade, supracrustal Windsor Point Group along the Cape Ray fault zone occurred during late Silurian to early Devonian time and is attributed to major oblique collision ...

The Late Cenozoic Geology of Cajon Pass; Implications for Tectonics and Sedimentation along the San Andreas Fault

, 1986
The geology in Cajon Pass, southern California, provides a detailed record of strike slip activity on the San Andreas fault, compressional deformation associated with the uplift of the central Transverse Ranges and an excellent Cenozoic record of ...

Looking at fault reactivation matching structural geology and seismological data

Journal of Structural Geology, 2005
Abstract We investigate fault reactivation that occurred during the 1997 Colfiorito seismic sequence (central Italy), matching detailed structural geology, precise earthquake locations and mechanical models of fault interaction. The Colfiorito area, within the Northern Apennines, is characterised by a relatively recent inversion of the tectonic ...

Geology of the San Jacinto Fault Zone in the Peninsular Ranges of Southern California

, 1965
The San Jacinto fault zone is one of the major branches of the San Andreas fault system in southern California. The straightness, continuity, and high seismicity of the San Jacinto fault zone suggest that it may be currently the most important member of ...

Geology of the Thrust Fault near Gardiner, Montana

The Journal of Geology, 1934
The Gardiner thrust fault has been mapped in detail from the west side of Cinnabar Mountain, Montana, where it appears from under a cover of Tertiary volcanics, southeastward to a point 3 miles east of Mount Everts, Yellowstone National Park, where it passes under the volcanics.

Structural Geology of Shawneetown Fault Zone, Southeastern Illinois: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1983
Vertical movements of crustal blocks along the narrow east-west-trending Shawneetown fault zone in southeastern Illinois occurred between Early Permian and Late Cretaceous. The main blocks moved vertically and returned to roughly their original positions so that strata now show little relative offset across the fault zone.

Polygonal faulting in the Tertiary of the central North Sea: implications for reservoir geology [PDF]

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1998
Abstract Interpretation of regional two-dimensional seismic surveys and three-dimensional seismic surveys in the central North Sea has demonstrated the existence of a pervasive polygonal network of normal faults affecting Tertiary shale-dominated slope and basin-floor depositional systems.
