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.

Geological characteristics of the boundary between Bolkardağı-Bozkır Units and the Ulukışla Basin and the structural evolution of the region, Central Taurides, Turkey

open access: yesBulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021
The character of the boundary between the tectonic units in the Central Taurides and the Ulukışla Basin is controversial. The contact has been accepted as discordant or tectonic contact by different researchers.

Fingerprinting stress: stylolite and calcite twinning paleopiezometry revealing the complexity of progressive stress patterns during folding-the case of the Monte Nero anticline in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this study we show for the first time how quantitative stress estimates can be derived by combining calcite twinning and stylolite roughness stress fingerprinting techniques in a fold-and-thrust belt.

THE STRESS-AND-STRAIN STATE OF THE SOUTH-EASTERN PART OF THE SKYBA AND BORYSLAV-POKUTTYA NAPPES OF THE UKRAINIAN CARPATHIANS

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The article presents results of field studies and interpretation of tectonophysical data from profiles in the valleys of Bystritsa Nadvornyanskaya, Prut, Pistynka (the right-side tributary of the Prut river), Belyi and Chernyi Cheremosh, and Seret rivers.

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 ...

Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The “passiveness” of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical movement post-breakup.

Alpine paleostress reconstruction and active faulting in western Iberia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The study of intraplate tectonics is crucial for understanding the deformation within plates, far from active plate boundaries and associated stress transmission to the plate interiors.

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

Geo-structural map of the Laguna Blanca basin (Southern Central Andes, Catamarca, Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Laguna Blanca basin is a rhomb-shaped basin located at the SE margin of the Puna plateau in the southern Central Andes (Catamarca, Argentina). An interactive analysis using remote sensing and field mapping enabled us to produce a geo-structural map ...

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

open access: yes, 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.
