Continued Investigation of Miocene Extensional Tectonism in the Northeastern Mojave Desert and Its Relationship to Synkinematic Plutonism

在伸展地体中，主要走滑断裂与区域小角度滑脱断裂之间的相互作用引起了人们的广泛关注。这一更新项目的重点是位于加洛克断裂神秘的东端附近的金斯顿山滑脱断层和相关的深成岩体，并涉及在影子山脉地区进行更多的野外测绘和实验室分析。这些结果将证明地壳伸展、高级同运动学深成作用和与伸展相关的陆地沉积之间的复杂地层学和构造关系。

The interaction of major strike-slip faults and regional low- angle detachment faults in extending terranes is of considerable interest. This renewal project focuses on the Kingston Range detachment fault and associated plutons that is located near the enigmatic eastern terminus of the Garlock fault, and involves additional field mapping and laboratory analysis in the Shadow Mountains area. Results will document the complex stratigraphic and structural relationships between crustal extension, high-level synkinematic plutonism, and extension-related terrestrial sedimentation.
