“…The major stages of salt movements occurred during the Triassic, creating significant space for additional sedimentation. This period of salt tectonics was associated with extension, reflecting a discrete pulse of tectonic activity in the Triassic (Ziegler, 1990;Vejbaek, 1990;Kockel, 2002;Scheck et al, 2003a;Krzywiec, 2004;Maystrenko et al, 2005a). At the regional scale, the Triassic corresponds to a period of global plate reorganization, marking the beginning break-up of Pangea (Ziegler, 1990).…”

The Glueckstadt Graben is prominent structure of the Central European Basin System, where the sedimentary patterns are extensively affected by Permian salt movements. The relations of the sedimentary patterns to salt structures have been analyzed through present-day distributions of sediments. In addition, a three-dimensional backward modelling approach has been applied to determine the original salt distribution in response to the unloading due to sequential backstripping of the Cretaceous when the area of the Glueckstadt Graben was tectonically silent. Therefore, our study supports the concept of tectonically induced salt movements which can be interrupted during the absence of tectonic forces. Salt movements were reactivated in the marginal troughs by compressional forces 4 during the latest Late Cretaceous-Early Cenozoic. Paleogene-Neogene salt withdrawal led to the growth of N-S oriented salt structures mainly at the margins of the basin. This phase of salt tectonics correlates temporally with almost W-E extension. This indicates a renewed change in tectonic regime after Late Cretaceous-Early Cenozoic compression.

“…To the south, in the Horn and Central grabens, faults primarily 165 strike N-S to NW-SE (Vejbaek, 1990;Glennie, 1997), whereas to the north and west, where they define the Varnes Graben and Lista Nose, they strike N-S (Skjerven et al, 1983;Lewis et al, 2013) (Fig. 1a).…”

“…As such, we may not expect any extensional activity along the E-W faults within the Farsund Basin. N-S-striking faults in and around the Farsund Basin do not appear to be related to the STZ; instead, these faults appear to form the northern continuation of the Horn Graben, which formed in response to Permian-Triassic E-W-directed 550 extension (Vejbaek, 1990;Nielsen, 2003).…”

“…Potential regional driving mechanisms during the Early-Middle Jurassic include: i) localised extension north of the STZ within the Skagerrak Graben (Ro et al, 1990;Vejbaek, 1990); ii) regional stresses relating to the inflation of the Mid North Sea thermal dome (Rattey and Hayward, 1993;Underhill and Partington, 1993); or iii) far-field stresses relating to the opening of the…”

Abstract. Pre-existing structures within sub-crustal lithosphere may localise stresses during subsequent tectonic events, resulting in complex fault systems at upper crustal levels. As these sub-crustal structures are difficult to resolve at great depths, the evolution of kinematically and perhaps geometrically linked upper-crustal fault populations can offer insights into their deformation history, including when and how they reactivate and accommodate stresses during later tectonic events. In this study, we use borehole-constrained 2D and 3D 15seismic reflection data to investigate the structural development of the Farsund Basin, offshore southern Norway; this E-trending basin represents the upper crustal expression of the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone, a major lithosphere-scale lineament extending >1000 km across Central Europe. The southern margin of the Farsund Basin is characterised by N-S and E-W-striking fault populations, the latter extending down through the Moho and potentially linking with the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone as imaged within sub-crustal lithosphere. Due to this 20 geometric linkage, we can analyse the upper crustal fault populations to infer the kinematics of the SorgenfreiTornquist Zone. We use throw-length (T-x) analysis and fault displacement backstripping techniques to determine the geometric and kinematic evolution of upper-crustal fault populations during the multiphase evolution of the Farsund Basin. We document a period of sinistral strike-slip activity along E-W-striking faults during the Early Jurassic, representing a hitherto undocumented phase of activity along the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist 25Zone. These E-W-striking upper-crustal faults are later obliquely reactivated under a dextral stress regime during the Early Cretaceous, with new faults also propagating away from pre-existing ones, representing a switch to a phase of dextral transtension along the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone. We show that the SorgenfreiTornquist Zone represents a long-lived lithosphere-scale lineament that is periodically reactivated throughout its protracted geological history. The upper crustal component of the lineament is reactivated in a range of tectonic 30 styles, including both sinistral and dextral strike-slip motions, with the geometry and kinematics of these faults often inconsistent with what may otherwise be inferred from regional tectonics alone. Understanding these different styles of reactivation not only allows us to better understand the influence of sub-crustal lithospheric structure on rifting, but also offers insights into the prevailing stress field during regional tectonic events. 35Solid Earth Discuss., https://doi
