Geology 3120 Horses and Wedges 1
Outline • Horses and Wedges? • Duplexes • Fenster and Klippe • Critical Taper Wedges in Thrust Faulting 2
Imbricate Fan Thrust sheets splay off a sole thrust 3
4
Duplex • Sole thrust and roof thrust • Blocks are surrounded by faults - horses 5
Duplex structures in quartzite 6
In-Sequence Thrusting 7
Out-of-Sequence Thrusting 8
Duplex Categories • Dip of foreland hinterland duplexes • Displacement verses length of horses 9
Hinterland-Dipping Duplex • Displacement < length of horse • Most common 10
Antiformal Duplex • Displacement = length of horse • Rare 11
Forward-Dipping Duplex • Displacement > length of horse • Almost never 12
Upheaval Dome Duplex • Map the horses • What kind of duplex is this? 13
Fenster (Window) and Klippe Fenster 14
Chief Mountain, Glacier National Park 15
Chief Mountain • Compression • Thrust initiation • Thrust transport • Erosion 16
Critical Tapered Wedge (Coulomb Wedge) • Shoveling snow • Bulldozing soil • Thrust systems in mountain belts 17
Controlling Factors a b m i, l mb If mi > mb, then (a + b) = f(internal friction mi, basal friction mb, fluid pressure l) 18 (a + b) does not depend on length, width, or any size parameter
Wedge States a b • Subcritical - no slip on the detachment; sedimentation and thrusting build the wedge, erosion degrades the wedge • Critical - metastable state of a and b ”Steady State” • Supercritical - slip on the detachment, no internal deformation of the wedge 19

Sean Willett’s movie of particle paths through a critical wedge Need url for his website to run movie… 21
Phaedra Upton’s movies of critical wedge through Puli, Taiwan Vertical strain = red; erosion included Vertical strain = red; erosion not included 22
