Mesozoic pelagic limestones in Umbria (northern Italy) were deformed by Miocene-Pliocene flexural slip folding under 1 to 2 km of cover; there are no signs of metamorphism. Under these conditions the deformation was brittle, as indicated by extension veins and by foraminifera that show no measurable distortional strain. Nevertheless, the limestone is

· In both fault sets, faults in dolostone or limestone lose displacement and tip into less competent anhydrite or shale where deformation is accommodated by folding and smaller scale deformation. Fold wavelength is established early and at small displacement (< 1 m throw).

The nomenclature and geometry of folds are summarized on Figure 12.2.1 12.2. 1. An upward fold is called an anticline (or, more accurately, an antiform if we don’t know if the beds have been overturned or not), while a downward fold is called a syncline, (or a synform if we don’t if the beds have been overturned).

normal faulting and horizontal compression. Normal faults are classified as dip-slip faults when the hanging wall block moves down relative to the footwall block. They are found in a variety of sizes. Most have steep dips that flatten out with depth. They are slso associated with tensional stresses that pull rocks apart.

Roughly E-W directed ductile shortening produced large-scale overturned and upright folds having axes parallel or slightly oblique to the stretching lineation. Upright folding and arching of low-angle normal faults occurred above the brittle-ductile transition and brittle E-W compression culminated with vertical axis block rotations, strike-slip faults and minor

· The brittle limestone and interbedded subordinate mudstone of the Lockhart Formation observed at all these sites are highly deformed and fractured. The study area is, as a whole, contained within a series of south-verging thrusts, north-verging back-thrusts, and associated folds and pop-up structures, all located within the hanging wall of

· Folds are wavelike deformation patterns in rock layers or other geological materials that result from the application of stress over a period of time. This process causes the originally flat or layered rocks to bend and deform, creating folds that can take on various shapes and sizes. Folds are a common feature in many geological settings and

Figure 1. Fault, fault zone, shear zone. Shear zones are zones of intense ductile deformation that are thin relative their lateral extent. Shear zones, like faults, typically show offsets of older structures, but unlike faults, they lack through-going brittle fractures. In practice, faults and shear zones are closely related.

Remind students that Earth's crust is generally made of brittle rock, the sedimentary rocks that make up much of the surface can actually deform under stress and pressure, causing bends and folds. This is called "plastic" or "ductile" deformation as opposed to when the pressure gets too extreme or is applied to brittle rocks, causing cracking of the crust, or
