  • 24. Anelastic Strain Recovery and Elastic Properties of Oceanic Basaltic Rocks1
    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.

  • Study of Small-Scale Structures and Their Significance in Unravelling the Accretionary Character of Singhbhum Shear Zone, Jharkhand, India
    J. Earth Syst. Sci. (2020) 129:227 Ó Indian Academy of Sciences https://doi.org/10.1007/s12040-020-01496-9 (0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) Study of small-scale structures and their significance in unravelling the accretionary character of Singhbhum shear zone, Jharkhand, India 1 2, ABHINABA ROY and ABDUL MATIN * 1Formerly Geological Survey of India, New Delhi, India. 2Formerly Department of Geology, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India. *Corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] MS received 1 April 2020; revised 22 July 2020; accepted 29 August 2020 Localized strain within tabular ductile shear zones is developed from micro- to meso- to even large scales to form complex structures. They grow in width and length through linkage of segments with progressive accumulation of strain and displacement, and Bnally produce shear zone networks characterized by anastomosing patterns. Singhbhum shear zone (SSZ) represents a large composite zone characterized by a collage of different dismembered lithotectonic segments, with heterogeneous structural features, within a matrix typical of a shear zone. Structural features indicate that the material properties of protoliths have a great role in controlling the mechanics of deformation. Meso- and micro-scale structural studies of the east-central part of the SSZ reveal ‘tectonic complex like’ (? deeper level equivalent of melange type complex) assemblage of dismembered lithoteconic units. Shear-induced foliations, S, C and C0, were developed while the main mylonitic foliation is represented by C-plane. Apart from that, shear lenses are exceptionally well developed in both meso- and micro-scale in most of the units, particularly in schistose rocks. They were formed from different processes during progressive simple shear, which includes (1) anastomosing C-planes, (2) intersection between C- and C0-planes, (3) disruption of stretched out longer limbs of asymmetric folds, and (4) cleavage duplex.

  • Structural Geology of the Aiken River Deformation Zone, Manitoba (NTS 64A1 and 2) by Y.D
    GS-18 Structural geology of the Aiken River deformation zone, Manitoba (NTS 64A1 and 2) by Y.D. Kuiper1, S. Lin1, C.O. Böhm and M.T. Corkery Kuiper, Y.D., Lin, S., Böhm, C.O. and Corkery, M.T. 2004: Structural geology of the Aiken River deformation zone, Manitoba (NTS 64A1 and 2); in Report of Activities 2004, Manitoba Industry, Economic Development and Mines, Manitoba Geological Survey, p. 201–208. Summary The Aiken River deformation zone shows evidence for dextral, north-side-up movement. Some of this movement may be related to movement on the gold-hosting Assean Lake deforma- tion zone to the north, suggesting that the Aiken River deformation zone may also have potential for mineralization. This paper discusses the transition of structures from the Central Split Lake Block into the Aiken River deformation zone. The Split Lake Block shows moderately to steeply southeast-plunging folds. Toward the shear zone, the following modifications occur: 1) folds tighten; 2) shear fabrics develop on the fold limbs but not the fold hinges; 3) fold axes start rotating, which is the initiation of sheath-fold development; and 4) dextral, north-side-up shear fabrics are pervasive and sheath folds are present. This sequence of changes may indicate that the pure shear component of this transpressive shear zone is accommodated over a wider area than the simple shear component. Introduction The Aiken River deformation zone forms the boundary between the Split Lake Block to the north and the Pikwitonei Granulite Domain to the south (Figure GS-18-1). Three and a half weeks of structural mapping were carried out in the Split Lake–Aiken River area in 2003 (Kuiper et al., 2003).

  • Brittle Microtectonics: Principles and Practice PURPOSE and SCOPE

HANCOCK Department of Geology, University of Bristol, Queen's Building, University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, U.K. (Received 8 February 1984; accepted in revised form 17 August 1984) Abstract--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 trajectories the ideal suite of structures comprises kinematic indicators such as mesofaults, shear zones, arrays of en echelon cracks, kink bands, stylofites and fibrous veins. However, in many tectonic settings joints are the only widespread structures capable of being analysed. The principal criteria for classifying joints into extension, hybrid and shear classes are fracture-system architecture and symmetry, surface morphology, dihedral angles and thin-section characteristics. The architecture of orthogonal extension joints is commonly T-shaped, the younger joint abutting the older one. Neighbouring conjugate hybrid or shear joints generally define X, Y or V shapes but some X patterns are artefacts of unrelated cross-cutting fractures. Conjugate joints enclosing dihedral angles of less than 45 ° are common; they are interpreted as hybrid failure surfaces initiated in the shear--extension fracture transition. The orientations of many joint sets in platforms are related to far-field stresses generated during plate motion and the subsidence, uplift and inversion of basins. Even within a single joint set there is commonly field evidence to show that it developed during a multiphase failure sequence..Some joints are younger than folds but where a system was established before the close of folding the surfaces commonly become the sites of slip, dilation or pressure solution, and are thus transformed into structures no longer classed as joints.

  • Characterizing the Southwestern Extent of the Norumbega Fault System, a Mid-Paleozoic Crustal-Scale Strike-Slip Fault System In
    CHARACTERIZING THE SOUTHWESTERN EXTENT OF THE NORUMBEGA FAULT SYSTEM, A MID-PALEOZOIC CRUSTAL-SCALE STRIKE-SLIP FAULT SYSTEM IN THE NEW ENGLAND APPALACHIANS by Emilie Gentry A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: __________________________ Emilie Gentry Signed: __________________________ Yvette D. Kuiper Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: __________________________ Dr. M. Steve Enders Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The >300 km long, northeast-trending dextral transpressive Norumbega fault system in Maine and New Brunswick is defined by a tens of kilometers wide zone of multiple dextral shear zones. Based on published 40Ar/39Ar hornblende data and U-Pb zircon and monazite ages, dextral shear along the fault system initiated by ~380 Ma. The location and nature of the southwestern termination of the Norumbega fault system was investigated in this study. Previously, no fault system in New Hampshire or eastern Massachusetts has been recognized with an orientation, timing, and motion sense consistent with those of the NFS. Detailed structural mapping was carried out along topographic lineaments and mapped shear zones in New Hampshire and Massachusetts to test whether the NFS extends into those areas. The Rye Complex in southeastern coastal NH was the only location investigated that presented field characteristics consistent with the NFS. The Nannie Island shear zone in southeastern NH is along strike with the NFS, but contains both sinistral and dextral shear sense indicators and has a lower metamorphic grade.

Summary The primary goal of this study, targeted on the TRUE Block Scale Structure #20, was to produce an integrated description of a deformation zone at the centimetre to decimetre length scale, by com- bining observations from cored boreholes, image logging, tunnel mapping, fracture mineralogical sampling, hydraulic testing and hydraulic pressure responses. The resulting composite description includes comments on the lithologies associated with the deformation zone, a description of the visible fracturing, descriptions of relationships in the ductile fabric at macro and micro scales, the hydraulic connectivity and hydraulic properties of the deformation zone, and detailed mineralogical descriptions of brittle and ductile fabrics.
