河北兴隆复式叠瓦扇构造

河北省北部兴隍－平泉复向斜的西端发育了一种特殊类型的推覆构造，该推覆构造具有三重结构的特点，即由上叠瓦扇、下叠瓦扇和下伏系统组成。上叠瓦扇可以分为被分支断裂分割的太古字、长城系、蓟县系、青白口系和寒武－奥陶系５个逆冲岩席；各分支断裂上陡下缓，向下逐渐归并于Ｆ１主逆冲断裂上。Ｆ１断层下的石炭－二叠系也发育了一组叠瓦状逆冲断层，形成了与上叠瓦扇具有不同变形特征的下叠瓦扇。由于这一构造特殊的两套叠瓦扇结构，故笔者称其为复式叠瓦扇构造，这是一种新的推覆构造类型。     

淮南煤田逆冲叠瓦扇构造系统

淮南煤田推覆构造发育于淮南复向斜南、北两翼。南缘推覆构造更为强烈,规模亦大,系由一系列走向近EW,向S倾斜的逆冲断裂组成。剖面上各断裂上陡下缓,向下逐渐归并于统一的滑脱面,从而构成上叠式逆冲叠瓦扇构造。滑脱面在倾向上及走向上均呈波状变化。北缘的反向逆冲叠瓦扇可能是在南缘逆冲推覆的构造作用下被动产生的。这在宏观、微观及超微观分析中都清晰地得到显示。然而,它们是近于同时形成的。这样就构成了淮南煤田的前缘止于反向断层的逆冲叠瓦构造系统。

双冲构造(duplexes)简介

双冲构造（duplexes）的概念最早应用在构造地质学中,是用来表明与逆冲构造相伴的专门的一套叠瓦断层系（Dahlstrom1970．Boyer及Elliot1982）。双冲构造包括一套能传递以逆冲构造底板到逆冲构造顶板位移的叠瓦断层系。叠瓦断层通常是渐近的向推覆构造的两条边界断层弯曲,枢定了透镜状的叠瓦单元。双冲构造趋向于发育在运动学复杂的地区。例如由于滑动面的变化,在平坦的一陡倾的一平坦的滑动面转变地区。在裂陷盆地边线也有伸展双冲构造发育。在那里断层的下盘底板呈平坦的一陡倾的铲式正断层地方肯定有叠瓦断层作用。Woodcock和Fische…

Thrust tectonics and paleogene syntectonic sedimentation in the Empordà area,southeastern Pyrenees

Abstract

The structure of the southern Pyrenees, east of the Albanyà fault (Empordà area), consists of several Alpine thrust sheets. From bottom upwards three main structural units can be distinguished : the Roc de Frausa, the Biure-Bac Grillera and the Figueres units. The former involves basement and Paleogene cover rocks. This unit is deformed by E-W trending kilometric-scale folds, its north dipping floor thrust represents the sole thrust in this area. The middle unit is formed by an incomplete Mesozoic succession overlain by Garumnian and Eocene sediments. Mesozoic rocks internal structure consists of an imbricate stack. The floor thrust dips to the south and climbs up section southwards. The upper unit exibits the most complete Mesozoic sequence. Its floor thrust is subhorizontal. The lower and middle units thrust in a piggy-back sequence. The upper unit was emplaced out of sequence.

Lower Eocene sedimentation in the Biure-Bac Grillera unit was controlled by emergent imbricate thrusts and synchronic extensional faults. One of these faults (La Salut fault) represents the boundary between a platform domain in the footwall and a subsident trough in the hangingwall. Southward thrust propagation produces the inversion of these faults and the development of cleavage-related folds in their hangingwalls (buttressing effect). This inversion is also recorded by syntectonic deposits, which have been grouped in four depositional sequences. The lower sequences represent the filling on the hangingwall trough and the upper sequences the spreading of clastics to the south once the extensional movement ends.

Thrust kinematics and transposition fabrics from a basal detachment zone, eastern Australia

Emplacement of an upper crustal, leading imbricate-fan thrust belt in the Lachlan Fold Belt of eastern Australia was accomplished along a 0.5–1 km thick zone of heterogeneously deformed, low grade phyllonite in pelitic rock. Continuous recrystallization and neocrystallization of mica in a zone of transposition layering has provided a weak zone at the base of a 100 km wide × 150 km exposed length × 10 km thick thrust system. The basal deformation zone is characterized by a low-moderately dipping, strong-intense transposition foliation enclosing elongate fault-bounded slices (up to 20 km long × 5 km wide in map view) of disrupted Cambrian metavolcanics and Upper Ordovician black shales and slates. These are derived from a structurally lower zone of duplexing or from the overturned limbs of anticlinorial structures. The detachment zone is a 10–15 km wide zone of intense deformation showing a transition from open, upright folds with weak cleavage to inclined, tightisoclinal folds with strong axial surface cleavage. The intensity of minor faults also increases into the zone. Leading imbricate fan thrust belts show maximum deformation effects along the basal detachment which forms the frontal or leading fault. The leading imbricate geometry is due to emplacement of the basal detachment zone up the lowest and last formed imbricate thrust. Movement is along a relatively ductile, low viscosity ‘layer’ at the base where strain softening occurs with development of transposition layering. This enables confined ‘flow’ along the basal zone with transport and emplacement of the fold system and duplex zone to higher structural levels. Reaction-enhanced ductility and grain boundary sliding may be important deformation mechanisms responsible for this flow. Localized polydeformation, marked by mesofolds and crenulation cleavage, reflects the interaction between thrust sheets and the movement on faults.     

Thrusting and transpressional shearing in the Pan-African nappe southwest El-Sibai core complex,Central Eastern Desert,Egypt

The Wadi El-Shush area in the Central Eastern Desert (CED) of Egypt is occupied by the Sibai core complex and its surrounding Pan-African nappe complex. The sequence of metamorphic and structural events in the Sibai core complex and the enveloping Pan-African nappe can be summarized as follows: (1) high temperature metamorphism associated with partial melting of amphibolites and development of gneissic and migmatitic rocks, (2) between 740 and 660 Ma, oblique island arc accretion resulted in Pan-African nappe emplacement and the intrusion of syn-tectonic gneissic tonalite at about 680 ± 10 Ma. The NNW–SSE shortening associated with oblique island arc accretion produced low angle NNW-directed thrusts and open folds in volcaniclastic metasediments, schists and isolated serpentinite masses (Pan-African nappe) and created NNE-trending recumbent folds in syn-tectonic granites. The NNW–SSE shortening has produced imbricate structures and thrust duplexes in the Pan-African nappe, (3) NE-ward thrusting which deformed the Pan-African nappe into SW-dipping imbricate slices. The ENE–WSW compression event has created NE-directed thrusts, folded the NNW-directed thrusts and produced NW-trending major and minor folds in the Pan-African nappe. Prograde metamorphism (480–525 °C at 2–4.5 kbar) was synchronous with thrusting events, (4) retrograde metamorphism during sinistral shearing along NNW- to NW-striking strike-slip shear zones (660–580 Ma), marking the external boundaries of the Sibai core complex and related to the Najd Fault System. Sinistral shearing has produced steeply dipping mylonitic foliation and open plunging folds in the NNW- and NE-ward thrust planes. Presence of retrograde metamorphism supports the slow exhumation of Sibai core complex under brittle–ductile low temperature conditions. Arc-accretion caused thrusting, imbrication and crustal thickening, whereas gravitational collapse of a compressed and thickened lithosphere initiated the sinistral movement along transcurrent shear zones and low angle normal ductile shear zones and consequently, development and exhumation of Sibai core complex.     

Mechanisms of thrust faulting in the gran sasso chain, central apennines, italy

The Gran Sasso chain in Central Italy is made up of an imbricate stack of eight thrust sheets, which were emplaced over the Upper Miocene—Lower Pliocene Laga Flysch. The thrust sheets are numbered from 1 to 8 in order of their decreasing elevation in the tectonic stack, and their basal thrusts are numbered from T₁ to T₈, accordingly. On the basis of their different deformation features, the major thrust faults fall into three groups: (1) thrust faults marked by thick belts of incoherent gouges and breccia zones (T₁, T₂, T₃); (2) thrust faults characterized by a sharp plane which truncates folds that had developed in the footwall rocks (T₅, T₆); and (3) thrust faults truncating folds developed in both the hangingwall and footwall units, and bordered by foliated fault rocks (T₇). The deformation features observed for the different faults seem to vary because of two combined factors: (1) lithologic changes in the footwall and hangingwall units separated by the thrust faults; and (2) increasing amounts of deformation in the deepest portions of the imbricate stack. The upper thrust sheets (from 1 to 6) are characterized by massive calcareous and dolomitic rocks, they maintain a homoclinal setting and are truncated up-section by the cataclastic thrust faults. The lowermost thrust sheets (7 and 8) are characterized by a multilayer with competence contrasts, which undergoes shear-induced folding prior to the final emplacement of the thrust sheets. Bedding and axial planes of folds rotate progressively towards the T₅, T₆, T₇ and T₈ thrust boundaries, and are subsequently truncated by propagation of the brittle thrust faults. The maximum deformation is observed along the T₇ thrust fault, consistent with horizontal displacement that increases progressively from the uppermost to the lowermost thrust sheet in the tectonic stack. The axial planes of the folds developed in the hangingwall and footwall units are parallel to the T₇ thrust fault, and foliated fault rocks have developed. Field data and petrographic analysis indicate that cleavage fabrics in the fault rocks form by a combination of cataclasis, cataclastic flow and pressure-solution slip, associated with pervasive shearing along subtly distributed slip zones parallel to the T₇ thrust fault. The development of such fabrics at upper crustal levels creates easy-slip conditions in progressively thinner domains, which are regions of localized flow during the thrust sheet emplacement.

Structure and tectonics along the inner edge of a foreland basin: The Hunter Coalfield in the northern Sydney Basin,New South Wales

From the early Late Permian onwards, the northeastern part of the Sydney Basin, New South Wales, (encompassing the Hunter Coalfield) developed as a foreland basin to the rising New England Orogen lying to the east and northeast. Structurally, Permian rocks in the Hunter Coalfield lie in the frontal part of a foreland fold‐thrust belt that propagated westwards from the adjacent New England Orogen. Thrust faults and folds are common in the inner part of the Sydney Basin. Small‐scale thrusts are restricted to individual stratigraphic units (with a major ‘upper decollement horizon’ occurring in the mechanically weak Mulbring Siltstone), but major thrusts are inferred to sole into a floor thrust at a poorly constrained depth of approximately 3 km. Folds appear to have formed mainly as hangingwall anticlines above these splaying thrust faults. Other folds formed as flat‐topped anticlines developed above ramps in that floor thrust, as intervening synclines ahead of such ramp anticlines, or as decollement folds. These contractional structures were overprinted by extensional faults developed during compressional deformation or afterwards during post‐thrusting relaxation and/or subsequent extension. The southern part of the Hunter Coalfield (and the Newcastle Coalfield to the east) occupies a structural recess in the western margin of the New England Orogen and its offshore continuation, the Currarong Orogen. Rocks in this recess underwent a two‐stage deformation history. West‐northwest‐trending stage one structures such as the southern part of the Hunter Thrust and the Hunter River Transverse Zone (a reactivated syndepositional transfer fault) developed in response to maximum regional compression from the east‐northeast. These were followed by stage two folds and thrusts oriented north‐south and developed from maximum compression oriented east‐west. The Hunter Thrust itself was folded by these later folds, and the Hunter River Transverse Zone underwent strike‐slip reactivation.
