Abstract
Stratigraphic Separation Diagrams and Thrust Belt Structural Analysis
Abstract
Identifying frontal and lateral thrust fault ramp positions and areas of different decollement levels is an essential first step in analyzing the structural geometry of a thrust belt. Stratigraphic separation diagrams directly plot the geographic positions where faults change stratigraphic levels. When carefully divided into longitudinal and transport direction segments, they separate lateral ramp areas from frontal ramp areas. Magnitudes of fault slip only correlate with amounts of stratigraphic separation in areas of flat faults; in stepped fault areas, stratigraphic separation varies systematically with depth of erosion through ramp regions.
