Structural Inheritance Controls Strain Distribution During Early Continental Rifting, Rukwa Rift

Little is known about rift kinematics and strain distribution during the earliest phase of extension due to the deep burial of the pre-rift and earliest rift structures beneath younger, rift-related deposits. Yet, this exact phase of basin development ultimately sets the stage for the location of co...
