1
GEOL 360 Fault related folds: Geometry & kinematics
2
Outline Fault Related Folds (Fault Propagation, Fault Bend, Buckle) Pre-Tectonic, Syn-Tectonic, and Post-Tectonic Deposition Exercise
3
Fault Bend Folds Fault Propagation Folds Includes Trishear Folds Decollement Buckle Folds
4
Growth Strata on Buckle Folds: Both limbs exhibit progressive limb rotation Common above salt layers
5
Chuhuangkeng Anticline Taiwan Decollement Bucking Examples Bavarian Alps (Jura)
6
Outcrop scale buckle fold, Spanish Pyrennees
7
Halfway River, Northern Canadian Rocky Mountains
8
Flat-ramp-flat geometry for fault surface Fault surface exists across entire cross-section Fold develops above ramp where limb angles related to fault dip Fault Bend Folds
9
Shear in hangingwall can affect limb width and fold geometry
10
Fault-Propagation Folds Fault tip propagates thru cross-section Fold develops above ramp with uniform forelimb angles Original FPP has forelimb with same dip, trishear dips flatten upwards (trishear = reality)

12
Osaka Bay Osaka Bay Flexure
13
Dip profile of forelimb of Osaka Bay TrishearFPF/blind thrust Most of reflectors are growth strata 1.5-2.0 km of sediment fill in the last 1800 ka Note homogeneous shear in forelimb
14
Dip profile of forelimb of Osaka Bay FPF/blind thrust Most of reflectors are growth strata 1.5-2.0 km of sediment fill in the last 1800 ka Note homogeneous shear in forelimb
15
Best fit trishear solution yields: steep (74 deg) thrust, 12km upward propagation (Fault tip from 15->3km) 10 deg apical angle Dip profile of forelimb of Osaka Bay FPF/blind thrust

Fault Propagation Fold (Trishear) movies (Stuart Hardy)
18
Fault Bend folding: Pregrowth strata Bends in fault produce bending in hangingwall, marked by active axial surfaces
19
Fault Bend folding: Pregrowth strata Fault Bend folding: Limbs widen self similarly Growth triangle records progressively more slip with time Inactive axial surfaces once at axial surfaces, now translated above thrust
20
Fault Bend folding: Limbs widen self similarly Growth triangle records progressively less slip
21
Post tectonic Post tectonic deposition caps growth triangles
