Geomechanical implications of joints and veins

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  Traditional structural geology textbooks often provide outdated treatments of joints and veins, failing to reflect the significant advances made in the past three decades.

Miocene to Quaternary Tectonostratigraphic Evolution of the Northern Section of the Burdur‐Fethiye Shear Zone, South‐Western Türkiye

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
New zircon ages reveal that lacustrine sedimentation initiated in the Late Miocene (Messinian), revising earlier Pliocene age assignments. The study results support the interpretation of the northern BFSZ as a broad left‐lateral transtensional shear zone rather than a discrete sinistral fault or simple extensional graben array.

Early Eocene Compressional Deformation in the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau Recorded by Magnetic Fabrics of the Longzhong Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Intracontinental deformation records how early Eocene India–Asia collisional stress propagated into continental interiors. How rapidly compression reached the far field, and whether coeval Paleo‐Pacific slab dynamics contributed, remain debated. The Longzhong Basin, ∼1,900 km north of the collisional zone, provides a key test.

y-gRaph: An OpenOffice application to reconstruct paleostress fields from striated faults

, 2020
An application (y-gRaph) to reconstruct paleostress fields from faults striations by means of the y–R diagram method is here presented. Based on modified Bott´s equation, the diagram relates y (azimuth of the maximum horizontal stress axis) and R (stress

Elongate summit calderas as Neogene paleostress indicators in Antarctica [PDF]

Open-File Report, 2007
The orientations and ages of elongate summit calderas on major polygenetic volcanoes were compiled to document Miocene to Pleistocene Sh (minimum horizontal stress) directions on the western and northern flanks of the West Antarctic rift system. Miocene to Pleistocene summit calderas along the western Ross Sea show relatively consistent ENE long axis ...

Emplacement Conditions and Alteration of Volcanic Deposits Inferred From Magnetic Properties of the ICDP Eger Drill Site S4 (Bažina Maar), Czechia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Titanomagnetite in alkaline maar deposits exhibits variable syn‐ and post‐crystallization alteration linked to wet emplacement and groundwater fluctuations, which remain poorly documented. Magnetic and mineralogical analyses of lapilli, scoria, and basalt from ICDP Eger drill cores S4 and S4b (Bažina maar, western Eger Graben, Czechia) reveal ...

Origin, Recurrent Reactivations, and Tectonic Role of Transverse Zones in Thrust‐and‐Fold Belts: The Central Southern Alps (Italy)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Transverse zones (TZs) in fold‐and‐thrust belts typically comprise strike‐slip to transpressional faults and related folds, oriented sub‐parallel to the regional shortening direction. These zones are typically associated with inherited faults or lateral stratigraphic changes, which promote strain partitioning, stress rotation, and kinematic ...

Paleostress field reconstruction and revised tectonic history of the Donbas fold and thrust belt (Ukraine and Russia). [PDF]

, 2003
In the WNW-ESE Donbas fold belt (DF), inversion of 3500 microtectonic data collected at 135 sites, in Proterozoic, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Cretaceous competent rocks allowed reconstruction of 123 local stress states.

Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

Long‐Term Deformation in the Alpine‐Provence Foreland Constrained by In Situ Calcite U‐Pb Dating

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The evolution of the Alpine‐Provence foreland is characterized by multiple deformation phases since the Mesozoic, representing successive compressional and extensional episodes. The precise timing and spatial evolution of these deformation phases remain poorly constrained due to the lack of absolute geochronological data. Here, we present U–Pb
