Pink (Devonian age) mudstones on the bank of the River Tay (Perthshire, UK) are intensively fractured - including joints and larger through going fractures Here we look at some of their characteristics including some splaying geometries.
This blog examines some key features of thrust systems with an example from seismic data offshore Namibia and from a hand specimen onshore UK.
This blog looks at joints contained within zones of deformation bands - how they form and if they are important or not.
This blog describes the value of a geomechanical approach to fracture prediction; for example thin beds often have more fractures than thick beds.
This blog looks at some key features of zones of deformation bands. Featured are 2 outcrops of Permian age sandstone from Scotland, UK.
