Geology of the North Muddy Mountains, Clark County, Nevada and regional structural synthesis : fold-thrust and basin-range structure in southern Nevada, southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona

Creator:

Carpenter, Daniel G.

Abstract:

The North Muddy Mountains are located in southern Nevada, about 65 km northeast of Las Vegas and near the eastern boundary of the Basin and Range province. The north-south-trending range block is bounded on the east and west, respectively, by east- and west-dipping, high-angle normal faults. Sevier age contractional and...

Structure of the southern Mormon Mountains, Clark County, Nevada and regional structural synthesis : fold-thrust and basin-range structure in southern Nevada, southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona

Creator:

Carpenter, James Anthony

Abstract:

Detailed geologic mapping in the Mormon Mountains and new geophysical data provide significant insight into contractional and extensional tectonics in southern Nevada, southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona. The rocks in the region were complexly deformed during two distinct tectonic episodes. Numerous interrelated events occurred within each episode. The first tectonic...
