P., Milnes, A. G. & Winsvold, I. The northern Bergen Are Shear Zone - an oblique-lateral ramp in the Devonian extensional detaehment system of western Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 78, pp. 169-184. Oslo 1998. ISSN 0029-196X. ISSN 0029-196X. Structural investigations in the northern part of the Bergen area (western Norway) have been earried out on the major, 2-3 km-thiek, late/post-Caledonian, extensional Bergen Are Shear Zone. This shear zone dips steeply SW with a ehange in strike from 115-120° in the northeast to 150-160° in the southwest, over a distance of 50 km. The footwall eonsists of the autochthonous Western Gneiss Complex and the lowermost Caledonian Nappes. The hanging wall eonsists of strueturally higher Caledonian Nappes uneonformably overlain by eoarse Devonian eonglomerates. The orientation of the mylonitic foliation within the shear zone, in addition to several types of shear-sense indieators, predominantly indieate a dextral shear component. The related stretehing lineation pl unges about 20° W to NW, implying a significant eomponent of normal slip, as indieated by the regional geology. The minimum displacement on the Bergen Are Shear Zone is approximately 16 km, with a normal dip slip eomponent of 8 km, and a dextral strike slip eomponent of 14 km. The Bergen Are Shear Zone post-dates all Caledonian eontraetional deformation in its vieinity. We suggest that the Bergen Are Shear Zone represents a braneh of the Nordfjord-Sogn Detaehment Zone, the main Devonian detaehment, developed as an oblique-lateral ramp. O. P. Wennberg,• A. G.

  • FIELD TRIP: Contractional Linkage Zones and Curved Faults, Garden of the Gods, with Illite Geochronology Exposé
    FIELD TRIP: Contractional linkage zones and curved faults, Garden of the Gods, with illite geochronology exposé Presenters: Christine Siddoway and Elisa Fitz Díaz. With contributions from Steven A.F. Smith, R.E. Holdsworth, and Hannah Karlsson This trip examines the structural geology and fault geochronology of Garden of the Gods, Colorado. An enclave of ‘red rock’ terrain that is noted for the sculptural forms upon steeply dipping sandstones (against the backdrop of Pikes Peak), this site of structural complexity lies at the south end of the Rampart Range fault (RRF) in the southern Colorado Front Range. It features Laramide backthrusts, bedding plane faults, and curved fault linkages within subvertical Mesozoic strata in the footwall of the RRF. Special subjects deserving of attention on this SGTF field trip are deformation band arrays and younger-upon-older, top-to-the-west reverse faults—that well may defy all comprehension! The timing of RRF deformation and formation of the Colorado Front Range have long been understood only in general terms, with reference to biostratigraphic controls within Laramide orogenic sedimentary rocks, that derive from the Laramide Front Range. Using 40Ar/39Ar illite age analysis of shear-generated illite, we are working to determine the precise timing of fault movement in the Garden of the Gods and surrounding region provide evidence for the time of formation of the Front Range monocline, to be compared against stratigraphic-biostratigraphic records from the Denver Basin. The field trip will complement an illite geochronology workshop being presented by Elisa Fitz Díaz on 19 June. If time allows, and there is participant interest, we will make a final stop to examine fault-bounded, massive sandstone- and granite-hosted clastic dikes that are associated with the Ute Pass fault.

We have also deduced a new model based on the ‘seismic pumping’ mechanism to explain the observed correlation between land uplift and groundwater yield in Norway. Rock avalanches and landslides represent the most hazardous effects of earthquakes in Norway with its mountainous terrain, deep fjords and relatively large areas with unstable quick-clay. New seismic mini-arrays in the Ranafjord area and the northern North Sea have sharply defined zones of increased seismicity. A total of 350 earthquakes have been detected in the outer Ranafjord area during the project period (2½ years), with magnitudes up to 2.8.

    Gradstein, F. M., Ludden, J. N., et al., 1992 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 123 24. ANELASTIC STRAIN RECOVERY AND ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF OCEANIC BASALTIC ROCKS1 N. R. Brereton,2 P. N. Chroston,3 C. J. Evans,2 J. A. Hudson,4 and R. B. Whitmarsh5 ABSTRACT A knowledge of rock stress is fundamental for improving our understanding of oceanic crustal mechanisms and lithospheric dynamic processes. However, direct measurements of stress in the deep oceans, and in particular stress magnitudes, have proved to be technically difficult. Anelastic strain recovery measurements were conducted on 15 basalt core samples from Sites 765 and 766 during Leg 123. Three sets of experiments were performed: anelastic strain recovery monitoring, dynamic elastic property measure- ments, and thermal azimuthal anisotropy observations. In addition, a range of other tests and observations were recorded to characterize each of the samples. One common feature of the experimental results and observations is that apparently no consistent orientation trend exists, either between the different measurements on each core sample or between the same sets of measurements on the various core samples. However, some evidence of correspondence between velocity anisotropy and anelastic strain recovery exists, but this is not consistent for all the core samples investigated. Thermal azimuthal anisotropy observations, although showing no conclusive correlations with the other results, were of significant interest in that they clearly exhibited anisotropic behavior. The apparent reproducibility of this behavior may point toward the possibility of rocks that retain a "memory" of their stress history, which could be exploited to derive stress orientations from archived core.

  • Stress and Fluid Control on De Collement Within Competent Limestone
    Journal of Structural Geology 22 (2000) 349±371 www.elsevier.nl/locate/jstrugeo Stress and ¯uid control on de collement within competent limestone Antonio Teixell a,*, David W. Durney b, Maria-Luisa Arboleya a aDepartament de Geologia, Universitat AutoÁnoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Spain bDepartment of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia Received 5 October 1998; accepted 23 September 1999 Abstract The Larra thrust of the Pyrenees is a bedding-parallel de collement located within a competent limestone unit. It forms the ¯oor of a thrust system of hectometric-scale imbrications developed beneath a synorogenic basin. The fault rock at the de collement is a dense stack of mainly bedding-parallel calcite veins with variable internal deformation by twinning and recrystallization. Veins developed as extension fractures parallel to a horizontal maximum compressive stress, cemented by cavity-type crystals. Conditions during vein formation are interpreted in terms of a compressional model where crack-arrays develop at applied stresses approaching the shear strength of the rock and at ¯uid pressures equal to or less than the overburden pressure. The cracks developed in response to high dierential stress, which was channelled in the strong limestone, and high ¯uid pressure in or below the thrust plane. Ductile deformation, although conspicuous, cannot account for the kilometric displacement of the thrust, which was mostly accommodated by slip on water sills constituted by open cracks. A model of cyclic dierential brittle contraction, stress reorientation, slip and ductile relaxation at a rheological step in the limestone is proposed as a mechanism for episodic de collement movement.

  • Characterization of Olivine Fabrics and Mylonite in the Presence of Fluid
    Jung et al. Earth, Planets and Space 2014, 66:46 http://www.earth-planets-space.com/content/66/1/46 FULL PAPER Open Access Characterization of olivine fabrics and mylonite in the presence of fluid and implications for seismic anisotropy and shear localization Sejin Jung1, Haemyeong Jung1* and Håkon Austrheim2 Abstract The Lindås Nappe, Bergen Arc, is located in western Norway and displays two high-grade metamorphic structures. A Precambrian granulite facies foliation is transected by Caledonian fluid-induced eclogite-facies shear zones and pseudotachylytes. To understand how a superimposed tectonic event may influence olivine fabric and change seismic anisotropy, two lenses of spinel lherzolite were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The granulite foliation of the surrounding anorthosite complex is displayed in ultramafic lenses as a modal variation in olivine, pyroxenes, and spinel, and the Caledonian eclogite-facies structure in the surrounding anorthosite gabbro is represented by thin (<1 cm) garnet-bearing ultramylonite zones. The olivine fabrics in the spinel bearing assemblage were E-type and B-type and a combination of A- and B-type lattice preferred orientations (LPOs). There was a change in olivine fabric from a combination of A- and B-type LPOs in the spinel bearing assemblage to B- and E-type LPOs in the garnet lherzolite mylonite zones. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyses reveal that the water content of olivine in mylonite is much higher (approximately 600 ppm H/Si) than that in spinel lherzolite (approximately 350 ppm H/Si), indicating that water caused the difference in olivine fabric.
