Figure 14. Maps of the strain magnitudes, where e is the strain value and is the principal major strain axis, after decompaction and subsequent three-dimensional (3-D) structural restoration of the Skull Creek Mudstone (Mst.). The strain magnitude is color-coded and represents the cumulative strain from both decompaction and structural restoration. The faults causing the tripartition are labeled. (A) Unrestored Skull Creek Mst. after decompaction and structural restoration of the overburden. (B) First intermediate step up to fault 16 and fault Naylor South. (C) Second intermediate step after retrodeformation up to fault Buttress Northwest (NW) and fault 2. (D) Complete 3-D retrodeformation of the Skull Creek Mst. grid coordinate system: Map Grid of Australia, zone 54, Transverse Mercator projection.
