The Nucleation and Evolution of Riedel Shear Zones as Deformation Bands in Porous Sandstone

The Nucleation and Evolution of Riedel Shear Zones as Deformation Bands in Porous Sandstone

Riedel shear zones are geometric fault patterns commonly associated with strike-slip fault systems. The progressive evolution of natural Riedel shear zones within the Navajo Sandstone of southern Utah is interpreted from the spatial evolution of small-scale, incipient Proto-Riedel Zones (PRZs) to be...
