Abstract:
A trace-slip fault is one on which direction of movement is parallel with the trace of planar elements on the fault plane. It is characterized by lack of the usual stratigraphic criteria of faulting. Several cases of trace-slip faults encountered in the field are presented. It is shown that many of the features of transverse epi-anticlinal faults in oil fields of the Rocky Mountain region, such as rapid variation in throw, offset of axial plane, and apparent pivotal character, can be accounted for by translatory oblique movement. A method for graphic study of oblique movement on faults cutting curved or intersecting planar elements is described.
