Abstract:
Although formerly postulated general theories of faults in the pre-Cambrian basement rocks and rotational stresses in a horizontal plane appear to be sound for consideration in a study of the en echelon faults in eastern Oklahoma, applications of these theories which have been made to regional structure seem unsatisfactory. A westward thrust from the Ouachita Mountains is postulated as the force which created a shearing couple which caused elongation of the faulted area from northeast to southwest, thus causing the development of the northwest trending, en echelon, tension faults in belts above north-northeast trending, major shear planes produced in the basement rocks by forces of the couple.
