Geology and timing of dextral strike-slip shear zones in Danmarkshavn, North-East Greenland Caledonides [PDF]

Geological Magazine, 2006
The North-East Greenland eclogite province is divided into a western, central and eastern block by the sinistral Storstrømmen shear zone in the west and the dextral Germania Land deformation zone in the east. A family of steep, NNW-striking dextral mylonite zones in the Danmarkshavn area are geometrically and kinematically similar to the ductile ...

Shearing Phenomena at High Pressure of Possible Importance for Geology

The Journal of Geology, 1936
Various phenomena of plastic flow under shearing stress are studied at confining pressures up to $50,000 kg./cm.^2$ The shearing stress required to produce flow may-increase many fold beyond its normal value. There may be either "hardening" or "softening" phenomena while a steady state is being reached.

Geology and genesis of Nalunaq Palaeoproterozoic shear zone-hosted gold deposit, South Greenland

Applied Earth Science, 2000
AbstractThe Nalunaq deposit is a shear zone-hosted gold deposit characterized by very high grades (up to 5240 g Au/t over 0.8 m). The host rocks are Palaeoproterozoic metabasic rocks of the Nanortalik Nappe, which is part of the Ketilidian Mobile Belt. The Nanortalik Nappe consists of bedded massive pyrrhotite/graphitic chert horizons overlain by fine ...

Shear Wave Velocity- and Geology-Based Seismic Microzonation of Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Earthquake Spectra, 2011
A seismic site classification microzonation for the city of Port-au-Prince is presented herein. The microzonation is based on 35 shear wave velocity ( VS) profiles collected throughout the city and a new geologic map of the region. The VS profiles were obtained using the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method, while the geologic map was ...

Gently sloping shear zones in the Belomorian Mobile Belt: Geology, structure, and P–T parameters

Geotectonics, 2016
The Belomorian Mobile Belt (BMB) in northern Karelia mostly consists of gently sloping shear zones, whose gneisses and migmatized amphibolites and blastomylonites are typically thinly banded, with their banding consistently dipping north- and northeastward.

Higher Himalayan Shear Zone, Sutlej section: structural geology and extrusion mechanism by various combinations of simple shear, pure shear and channel flow in shifting modes

International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2009
The Higher Himalayan Shear Zone (HHSZ) in the Sutlej section reveals (1) top-to-SW ductile shearing, (2) top-to-NE ductile shearing in the upper- and the lower strands of the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDSU, STDSL), and (3) top-to-SW brittle shearing corroborated by trapezoid-shaped minerals in micro-scale. In the proposed extrusion model of the

Geology of the shear-hosted Brookbank gold prospect in the Beardmore–Geraldton belt, Wabigoon subprovince, Ontario

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2007
The Beardmore–Geraldton belt consists of steeply dipping, intercalated panels of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks along the southern margin of the granite–greenstone Wabigoon subprovince in the Archean Superior Province, Ontario. It is an important past-producing gold belt that includes classic epigenetic iron-formation-hosted deposits near ...

The 3D shear experiment over the Natih field in Oman. Reservoir geology, data acquisition and anisotropy analysis

Geophysical Prospecting, 1999
This paper describes a large‐scale reservoir characterization experiment carried out in Oman in 1991 which comprised the acquisition, processing and interpretation of a 28.4 km2 3D multicomponent seismic experiment over the Natih field. The objective of the survey was to obtain information on the fracture network present in the Natih carbonates from ...

Geology of the Duncan Canal shear zone:Evidence for Early to Middle Jurassic deformation of the Alexander terrane, southeastern Alaska

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1990
The Duncan Canal shear zone, central southeastern Alaska, disrupts and penetratively deforms Devonian, Pennsylvanian, and Upper Triassic strata of the lexander terrane. The deformation is interpreted to have occurred within a regime of right-lateral shear during Early or Middle Jurassic time.

Geological parameters in relation to bedrock geology and shear strength of dry tills: samples from the southern half of Norway

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2018
The shear strength of soils is influenced by various geological parameters. Following the shear strength study of Norwegian tills by Opsal (2017), this study presents test results of a selection of such parameters, i.e., particle size distribution, particle shape, and the mineralogical composition, of 33 till samples (fractions
