Abstract: Polygonal fault systems (PFSs) are an enigmatic class of small nontectonic extensional faults. PFSs are predominantly hosted in fine-grained sedimentary tiers and are prevalent along many continental margin basins. The genesis of PFSs is widely… read more here.

Abstract: An extensive polygonal fault system (PFS) within fine-grained Upper Cretaceous sediments beneath the Great Plains of North America has implications for geotechnical engineering. Geological well control, outcrop, and three-dimensional seismic data from southeast Saskatchewan exemplify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjes-2016-0133
Abstract: An extensive polygonal fault system (PFS) has been recognized in fine-grained Late Cretaceous sediments of the Western Interior Seaway of North America. Polygonal fault systems are pervasive organizations of nontectonic faults with fault traces that… read more here.
