Abstract:The Flemington fault zone in the central Newark basin contains a complex system of faults consisting of both braided and en echelon segments with folds trending perpendicular and parallel to the major faults. Six basalt flows centered at three loci, and five diabase intrusions at four loci occur within a 35-km (22 mi) interval of the hanging-wall region of the fault zone. Lower basalt flows and chilled diabases are classified as low-Ti0 2 quartz-tholeiites; upper basalt flows are classified as high-iron quartz… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
