The effects of fault-induced stress anisotropy on fracturing, folding and sill emplacement: Insights from the Bowie coal mines, southern Piceance basin, western Colorado.
The recognition of fault-perturbed stress fields is an important tool in areas of mineral or hydrocarbon exploration. The Bowie underground coal mines of western Colorado expose a reverse-reactivated growth fault that perturbed the stress field during cleat (fracture) formation, rotating cleat orien...
