The Earth's continental skin has been cracked many times in many places during the last
several billion years. The resulting rifts number in the hundreds (Burke 1978, Ramberg & …

The structure of vein-type gold deposits is defined by the shapes and geometrical
relationships of mineralized bodies, the form of the mineralization making up these bodies …

Brittle microtectonics as defined here is the application of mesofracture analysis to the
solution of tectonic problems. For the determination of regionally significant stress or strain …

Increased interest in the two-and three-dimensional geometries and development of faults
and other types of fractures in rock has led to an increasingly bewildering terminology. Here …

A new model for the structural development of extensional basins is outlined. The model
suggests a close similarity in geometry between faults in high extension basins such as the …

pure strike-slip 137 3 Faulting above a wide zone of basement wrenching 144-'-que slip on …

Broadly interrelated assemblages of geologic structures constitute the fundamental
structural styles of petroleum provinces. These assemblages generally are repeated in …

Detailed mapping of throw variations and deformation along twokm-scale normal faults in
the high-porosity Navajo sandstone, Utah, has been used to investigate fault growth in this …

A new inverse technique is presented here to separate stresses from heterogeneous fault-
slip data without a priori information on the stresses or on the classification of faults …
