(2006) Discrete element modelling of the influence of cover strength on basement-involved fault-propagation folding. Tectonophysics, 415(1-4), p.225-238.Hardy, S., and E. Finch (2006), Discrete element modelling
Slip was transferred at the terminations of the Rattlesnake Mountain fault block by pivoting to the north and tear faulting to the south. In summary, unidirectional Laramide compression and pre-existing basement weaknesses combined with fault-propagation and rotational fault-bend folding to create an ...
Uplift along basement thrust faults is consumed by a combination of basal fault propagation and interlayer flexural slip. Mechanical stratigraphy plays an important role in the tendency for faulting vs. flexural slip, and thereby the fold geometry; strong layers favor flexural interlayer slip rather ...
