This is something that I didn't really get into, but faults 4 and 5, in the footwall of the Baba-Markha fault, have a pattern where maximum displacement occurs within the Nukhul Formation: they seem to have initiated relatively late, within the basin fill. Other faults seem to have displacement highs in the pre-rift. We think that faults 4 and 5 are related to activity on the Baba-Markha fault. Basically, the Nukhul fault dies out after deposition of the Nukhul Formation, but the Baba-Markha fault remains active and eventually becomes a fault block-bounding structure with several km of displacement. This is typical of rift development: you start off with a large number of small displacement faults (rift initiation) and end up with a small number of large displacement faults (rift climax).<BR/><BR/>George:<BR/><BR/>Cheers!

I've just got one question: <BR/><BR/>Which fault, or fault segment, is your <I>Image of the Week #5</I> a snapshot of? <BR/><BR/>I didn't fully understand that image when you first posted it. Now that you've explained things more, I think I've got it. I would still love to see where it fits in to the story though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364385671554081025.post-52507577816891739042008-11-06T10:03:00.000-08:002008-11-06T10:03:00.000-08:00I understood all of that.Nice pictures.I understood all of that.<BR/><BR/>Nice pictures.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863110414396580101noreply@blogger.com
