tectonic evolution of an active tectonostratigraphic boundary in accretionary wedge an example from the tulungwan chaochou fault system southern taiwan
Journal of Structural Geology, 2014Co-Authors: C Huang, Timothy ByrneAbstract:Abstract The Tulungwan-Chaochou Fault system in southern Taiwan represents the boundary between a slate belt of moderate metamorphic grade and a relatively unmetamorphosed fold-and-thrust belt. The offset between hanging wall and footwall of this fault ranges from 7 to 11 km and is considered one of the major tectonostratigraphic faults in Taiwan. This 75-km-long fault system is also one of the most conspicuous topographic features in Taiwan. The geometry, kinematic history and associated subsidiary structures have not been resolved. Field mapping of fabrics and brittle faults show that a 45-km-long west-northwest-vergent Antiform defined by folded slaty cleavage exists in the hanging wall of the fault. This Antiform has not been previously described and apparently formed in a brittle environment. The flat crest and tight forelimb of the Antiform suggests a two-stage deformation model composed of a fault-bend fold followed by a trishear fold. We infer that regional scale fold is associated with a thrust that splays upward from the main detachment.

U–Pb constraints on the thermotectonic evolution of the Vernon Antiform and the age of the Aberdeen gneiss complex, southeastern Canadian Cordillera
Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2006Co-Authors: P Glombick, R I Thompson, Philippe Erdmer, Larry M. Heaman, Richard M. Friedman, M. Villeneuve, K L DaughtryAbstract:The Aberdeen gneiss complex is composed of complexly deformed migmatitic orthogneiss and paragneiss situated within the core of the Vernon Antiform, a structure defined by a series of subparallel reflectors visible at upper to middle crustal depths (6–18 km) in seismic reflection data from the Vernon area of the Shuswap metamorphic complex. The Vernon Antiform and the Aberdeen gneiss complex lie within the footwall of the gently west dipping (top to the west) Kalamalka Lake shear zone. Migmatitic gneiss exposed within the Antiform records evidence (recorded as age domains in complexly zoned zircon grains) of three metamorphic events, occurring at 155–150, 90, and 66–51 Ma. The timing of magmatic events within the Antiform includes emplacement of diorite at ∼232 Ma, tonalite at ∼151 Ma, granodiorite at 102 Ma, and monzonite at 52 Ma. Middle to Late Jurassic metamorphism resulted in widespread migmatization. Early Tertiary metamorphism (66–51 Ma) was coeval with the emplacement of granitic rocks and exhumation typical of other areas of the Shuswap metamorphic complex. Highly deformed orthogneiss situated within the hanging wall of the Kalamalka Lake shear zone, comprising the superstructure, was emplaced at ∼171 Ma. Ductile deformation had ceased by 162 Ma. The complex metamorphic and magmatic evolution of the Vernon Antiform, which is similar to other areas of the southern Canadian Cordillera including the Nicola horst, Mount Lytton - Eagle plutonic complex, Cariboo Mountains, and Mica Creek area, may reflect episodic tectonic activity at the plate margin.

geodetic deformation monitoring in zafarraya fault and sierra tejeda Antiform spain status report
2005Co-Authors: A J Gil, Jesus Galindozaldivar, M J Borque, Carlos Marinlechado, Patricia RuanoAbstract:The NW-SE to NNW-SSE convergence between the African and Eurasian plates in the western Mediterranean has developed the recent relief of the Betic-Rif Cordilleras. The central part of the Internal Zones of the Betic Cordilleras is deformed by large open folds and faults, mainly with normal character. The Zafarraya fault, located to the N of the Sierra Tejeda Antiform, was active during the 1884 Andalusia earthquake of 6.7 estimated magnitude. In the framework of an interdisciplinary research project a non-permanent GPS-network has been designed at Zafarraya Fault and Sierra Tejeda Antiform to monitor deformations related to these active tectonic structures.

Mapping granite and gneiss in domes along the North Himalayan Antiform with ASTER SWIR band ratios
Bulletin of the Geological Society of America, 2005Co-Authors: Doyle R. Watts, Nigel B.w. Harris, Jason S. Gaines, Christina L. Ishmael, Karen A. Larsen, David Z. May, Steven P. Roberts, Dustin B. Steger, John Rogers, Marie T. SullivanAbstract:A series of five gneiss domes that are exposed along the axis of the North Himalayan Antiform 50 km south of the Indus-Tsangpo suture, southern Tibet, are characterized by cores of Cambrian gneiss and Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic schists and migmatites, often intruded by Tertiary granites and mantled by metamorphosed equivalents of Tethyan sedimentary successions. Images from the SWIR (short wave infrared) bands recorded by the ASTER (Advanced Spaceborn Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) sensor on the Earth Observation System Terra satellite reveal with unprecedented clarity the nature of the cores of the domes and the extent of the surrounding mantles of metamorphic rock. Using band ratio methods, we distinguish Tertiary granite from Cambrian gneiss on the basis of the presence of 5%–10% muscovite in the granite. This methodology is ideally suited to the mapping of a relatively inaccessible area with excellent exposure but limited ground truth. With the exception of the well-studied Kangmar dome, our images of the cores of the domes and their associated mantles bear little resemblance to the published geological maps of the region and reveal hitherto unrecognized exposures of granites. The true disposition of the domes within the North Himalayan Antiform have now been established, revealing a systematic westward increase in the granite component of Himalayan age within the domes across the study area.
