The Hyde-Macraes shear zone in Otago: A result of continental extension or shortening? A kinematic analysis of the Footwall Fault

Mineralised shear zones in Otago are often truncated by regional low-angle faults, which juxtapose schist of different metamorphic grade. The Footwall Fault and the Hyde-Macraes Shear Zone are one example for this kind of tectonic setting, and are the subject to this study. Although, the mechanisms...
