Stearns, David W. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)Laboratory data suggest that shallowly buried granitic basement rocks behave in a brittle fashion. Field evidence confirms this suggestion. However, laboratory results suggest that the deformations of sedimentary rocks ...

Couples, Gary Douglas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The concept of forced folding (Stearns, 1971,1978) forms the basis for the research reported here on Rattlesnake Mountain Anticline. Field observations address fold formation with respect to: causative basement blocks, the ...

Jamison, William Richard (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)During Laramide tectonism, the aeolian Wingate Sandstone was forced folded along the northeast of the Uncompahgre Plateau above faults within the underlying crystalline basement. The internal deformation of the Wingate ...

Saunders, Ross E. (1978)The study of sandstone deformation on grain-to-grain and grain scales is not unknown in the geological sciences. Using a ratio of solid space to void space (S/V) measured on the grain-to-grain scale in the Triassic Wingate ...

Serra, Sandro (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The presently available and widely used model describing the style of deformation of rocks in ramp regions of overthrust faults is that proposed by Rich (1934) for the Pine Mountain overthrust in the southern Appalachian ...
