The Geometry of Accreted "Packets" in Subduction Zones; Examples from the Eastern Belt of the Franciscan in California and the Torlesse Terrane in New Zealand part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:2016 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
This abstract page presents a geological study on the structural geometry of accreted fault-bounded rock "packets" in subduction zones, using field examples from the Franciscan Eastern Belt (California) and Torlesse Terrane (New Zealand), emphasizing deformation patterns, stratigraphic preservation, and implications for accretionary processes.
