Structural Setting of Teton Pass with Emphasis on Fault Breccia Structural setting of Teton Pass with emphasis on fault breccia associated with the Jackson thrust fault, Wyoming by Ann Marlene Vasko A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by Ann Marlene Vasko (1982) Abstract: The Jackson thrust fault, exposed on Teton Pass, Wyoming, consists of Cambrian Gallatin Limestone thrust over the Cretaceous Bear River Formation. The Jackson fault is a Late Paleocene, thin-skinned, listric thrust fault that forms the main frontal fault of the foreland fold and thrust belt. The Cache Creek thrust sheet overrode the Jackson thrust sheet from the northeast overturning the Jackson thrust fault to the southwest. The fault zone of the Jackson thrust fault is defined by a severely deformed cataclastic zone approximately nine meters wide. Thrust- ' related changes in the hanging wall rock (Gallatin Limestone) are: (1) a severely brecciated zone 0-4 m from the fault plane, (2) a relatively less brecciated zone 4-9 m from the fault plane, (3) a decrease in grain size of breccia fragments as the fault plane is approached, (4) an increase in the degree of sorting of breccia fragments nearer the fault plane, and (5) a loss of well defined bedding planes. Movement along the Jackson thrust fault is interpreted to have been aided by (1) loss of cohesion between hanging wall rock and footwall rock units, (2) decrease in normal stress due to pore fluid pressure, and (3) de-' crease in frictional resistance to slip due to the presence of breccia fragments between the hanging wall and footwall blocks.
