Structural evolution of the Carpinteria Basin, Western Transverse Ranges, California

Creator:

Jackson, Patrick A.

Abstract:

The Pleistocene Carpinteria basin is an east-trending northward-verging, faulted syncline containing up to 1220m of partially intertonguing Santa Barbara and Casitas Formations deposited on previously folded pre- Pleistocene strata with up to 80° discordance. Structures subcropping against the unconformity indicate most of the deformation in the Santa Ynez Range prior...

I. Direction of maximum horizontal compression in western Oregon determined by borehole breakouts. II. Structure and tectonics of the northern Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:

Werner, Kenneth Stefan

Abstract:

Elliptical borehole enlargements or "breakouts" caused by systematic spalling of a borehole wall due to regional maximum horizontal stresses were identified in 18 wells drilled in the Coast Range and Willamette Valley of western Oregon. The breakouts generally indicate a NNW to NNE orientation of maximum horizontal compression (oH[subscript max])...
