Journal ArticleDOI
Strike-Slip faults
TL;DR: The importance of strike-slip faulting was recognized near the turn of the century, mainly from investigations of surficial offsets associated with major earthquakes in New Zealand, Japan, and California.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic Transpression and Basement-Controlled Deformation in San Andreas Fault Zone, Salton Trough, California
TL;DR: The San Andreas Fault Zone in the Salton trough is characterized by subparallel, high-angle faults, en-echelon folds, and systematically arranged arrays of reverse and normal faults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Papoose Flat pluton: A granitic blister in the Inyo Mountains, California
TL;DR: The Papoose Flat pluton as mentioned in this paper is composed of quartz monzonite with K-feldspar megacrysts and crops out as an elongated east-trending dome, 16 km long and 8 km wide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sveconorwegian crustal underplating in southwestern Fennoscandia: LAM-ICPMS U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope evidence from granites and gneisses in Telemark, southern Norway
TL;DR: Laser ablation ICPMS U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data on granitic-granodioritic gneisses of the Precambrian Vravatn complex in central Telemark, southern Norway, indicate that the magmatic protoliths crystallized at 1201-±-9-Ma to 1219±-8-Ma, from magmas with juvenile or near-juvenile Hf isotopic composition as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature and distribution of deep crustal reservoirs in the southwestern part of the Baltic Shield: Evidence from Nd, Sr and Pb isotope data on late Sveconorwegian granites
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radiogenic isotope data to distinguish three groups of late Sveconorwegian granites: (1) granite with more than 150 ppm Sr, 87 Rb/86 Sr 87 Sr/ 86 Sr 0.93 Ga Nd > 0.710 and (2) low-Sr concentration granites associated with Rjukan Group rhyolite.
