Physical properties of surface outcrop cataclastic fault rocks, Alpine Fault, New Zealand
[1] We present a unified analysis of physical properties of cataclastic fault rocks collected from surface exposures of the central Alpine Fault at Gaunt Creek and Waikukupa River, New Zealand. Friction experiments on fault gouge and intact samples of cataclasite were conducted at 30–33 MPa effective normal stress (sn′) using a double-direct shear configuration and controlled pore fluid pressur...
متن کاملFrictional melt pulses during a V1.1 Ma earthquake along the Alpine Fault, New Zealand
Our understanding of frictional melting that occurs during large earthquake slip events has been hampered by the extremely fine-grain size of frictionally fused rock, and the lack of detailed high-resolution microscopy studies that describe features at the crystal lattice scale. In such a study, we here report the complex nature of melting and crystallization in a symmetrically layered, pseudot...
متن کاملDecomposition of Fission - Track Grain - Age Distributions
The external-detector method of fission-track (FT) dat ing is capable of providing FT ages for individual mineral grains. As a result, tliis method when applied to dating detrital zircons in unreset sandstone samples has much potential for resolving the depositional age and provenance of the samples. One problem is that individual FT grain ages for detrital zircons usually have fairly low prec...
متن کاملCooling history and exhumation of the nepheline syenites, NW Iran: constraints from apatite fission track
Thermal history and apatite fission-track ages were determined for the Kaleybar, Razgah and Bozqush alkaline intrusions which display Eocene-Oligocene stratigraphic age. These subduction-related intrusions are located in the Alborz-Azarbaijan magmatic belt which is characterized by a Paleogene magmatic flare-up associated with extensional/transtensional tectonism. The mean of Uranium content an...
متن کاملLarge‐displacement, hydrothermal frictional properties of DFDP‐1 fault rocks, Alpine Fault, New Zealand: Implications for deep rupture propagation
The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate-bounding fault that accommodates 65-75% of the total relative motion between the Australian and Pacific plates. Here we present data on the hydrothermal frictional properties of Alpine Fault rocks that surround the principal slip zones (PSZ) of the Alpine Fault and those comprising the PSZ itself. The samples were retrieved from relatively shallow...
