| Deformation and Exhumation at Convergent Margins: The Franciscan Subduction Complex |
|---|
| | by | Uwe Ring
| | Year Published: | 2008 | | Total Pages: | 61 | | ISBN: | 9780813724454 | | Product Code: | SPE445 | | The Franciscan subduction complex formed a long-lived accretionary wedge of Late Jurassic through Oligocene age that fringed the western edge of the North American Cordillera. This volume summarizes absolute finite-strain data from the Franciscan subduction complex and brittle strain data from important faults in and above this complex. Because the Franciscan is generally considered a prototypical sediment-rich subduction complex, its tectonic evolution is important for understanding convergent plate margins, and the results outlined in this volume may have broad implications for other subduction-zone settings. |
