Structural Analysis and a Kink Band Model for the Formation of the Gemini Fault Zone, an Exhumed Left-Lateral Strike Slip Fault Zone in the Central Sierra Nevada, California
The structure and regional tectonic setting of an exhumed, 9.3-km long, left-lateral strike-slip fault zone eludicates processes of growth, linkage, and termination for strike-slip fault zones in granitic rocks. The Gemini fault zone is composed of three steeply dipping, southwest-striking, noncopla...
