Mechanical models to estimate the paleostress state from igneous intrusions [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2018
Dikes and sills represent an important component of the deformation history in volcanic systems, but unlike dikes, sills are typically omitted from traditional paleostress analyses in tectonic studies.

Morphometric and structural diagnosis of fault reactivation in the Cenozoic: a case study of the Blumenau-Soledade Lineament in southern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2021
The hypothesis that geomorphometric parameters and structural-geological features are diagnostic of reactivation of the Blumenau-Soledade Lineament in central-western Santa Catarina, Brazil was tested by confronting data on asymmetry, elongation ...

FRACTURED TECTONICS OF CHROMITITES OF THE MAIN SARANOVSKOYE DEPOSIT (PERM KRAI)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2022
The Main Saranovskoe deposit is one of the largest chrome deposits in Russia. The chrome ore bodies are localized in the ultramafites of the Northern Saranovsky massif which has been studied since 1907. The research revealed that the massif is similar to

Mesozoic/cenozoic strike-slip tectonics in the catarinense shield and its correlation with structures associated with the continental rift in southeastern Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Structural studies carried out on mesoscopic scale of planar and linear brittle structures from quarries in Precambrian rocks of the central-southern portion of the Catarinense Shield led to a characterization of four main fault directions: NE-SW, NW-SE ...

A contribution to better understanding of structural characteristics and tectonic phases of the Boč region, Periadriatic Fault Zone

open access: yesGeologija, 2016
The aim of this study was to determine properties of the tectonic contact between Permian/Mesozoic limestones and less competent Miocene clastites on the northeastern foothill of the Boč Mt.

Insights into the Paleostress Analysis of Heterogeneous Fault-Slip Data by Comparing Different Methodologies: The Case of the Voltri Massif in the Ligurian Alps (NW Italy)

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
One of the most critical stages in fault-slip data stress analysis is separating the fault data into homogeneous subsets and selecting a suitable analysis method for each subset.

Genetic Mechanism of Lower-Order Faults in Shale Formations in Rift Basins

open access: yesGeofluids, 2023
The distribution of lower-order faults affects the development of oil and gas and the distribution of remaining oil, which is also the key to the development of fault block reservoirs in eastern China.

Paleostress Determination and Structural Analysis of the Area between Amman and Qasr Al-Hallabat, North Jordan

open access: yesIraqi Geological Journal, 2022
This research derives paleostress tensors for deformation affecting late Cretaceous rocks between Amman and Al-Hallabat, northern Jordan and reconstructs the region's tectonic history.

Paleostress Analysis of Atlantic Crustal Extension in the Quebec Appalachians [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geology, 2006
Abstract A paleostress analysis using normal fault slip data and Jurassic dike trends has been conducted in the Quebec and New England Appalachians. Stress tensor analysis of fault slip by a numerical inversion method has distinguished homogeneous and directionally consistent E‐W‐ and NW‐SE‐oriented extensional stress regimes in the Quebec Appalachians
