Deformation bands are common subseismic structures in porous sandstones that vary with
respect to deformation mechanisms, geometries and distribution. The amount of cataclasis …

Conjugate, or bimodal, fault patterns dominate the geological literature on shear failure.
Based on Anderson's (1905) application of the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, these …

An array of graphical and numerical techniques facilitate qualitative and quantitative
kinematic analysis of fault-slip data. Graphical contouring and Bingham statistics of the …

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 …

Hydrothermal outflow occurs most commonly at the terminations of individual faults and
where multiple faults interact. These areas of fault propagation and interaction are sites of …

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 …

All normal-fault systems must terminate both along and orthogonal to strike. As many as four
terminations may be associated with a single culmination. Most normalfault systems …

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 …
