Abstract
Bed-parallel slip gradients lie within the range of fault displacement gradients observed in global datasets, but are lower than the gradients developed on normal faults in Kardia mine. Bed-parallel slip-surfaces are segmented both parallel and normal to the slip direction and form both soft- and hard-linked relay zones on a wide range of scales. Zones of layer-bound minor normal faults, forming extensional duplexes or arrays of “bookshelf” faults between bounding slip-surfaces, accommodate the transfer of slip across associated releasing relay zones.
