The story of Tucson extensional geology
6
Undeformed granite Mylonite
7
Low strain High strain
13
Normal faults throughout - cut foliation and other ductile structures
14
Normal fault
15
Foliation- not sedimentary layering Measurable like bedding-good first indication of direction of ductile deformation
16
Mylonites Porphyroclasts Gneissic banding Rotated crystals
17
Fractured fold - top to the south
19
S C
20
Top to the south sense of shear
23
Ductile first Brittle later
25
X-cutting dike - seals all the ductile deformation- an absolute age on this basaltic material would constrain the end of ductile deformation
27
Ductile deformation top to the south is given by foliation (direction), sense of shear indicators (folding, S-Cs) and lineation Brittle is overprinted- low angle normal faults cutting the old foliation
30
Sequence of events:
31
The strength versus depth issue
