Title: Faulting in East Part of Grand Canyon of Arizona

Author(s): C. E. Van Gundy (2)

Abstract:

The characteristics of several faults and their associated folds in the Grand Canyon district of Arizona are clearly shown by the excellent exposures of the rocks in the deeply dissected canyons of this region. Two of the major faults in this region have been active in the pre-Cambrian and again in post-Paleozoic time. These faults show at least two periods of movement and a reversal in the direction of movement of the thrown side. Monoclines, anticlines and synclines appear to have been formed by the combination of normal faulting at depth and the regional dip.
