Diagenetically induced shear failure of fine-grained sediments and the development of polygonal fault systems
J Cartwright - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2011 - Elsevier
Polygonal fault systems (PFS) are widely developed along many continental margin basins
and some interior cratonic and foreland basins. They are networks of small normal faults that …

Origins of non-tectonic fractures in shale
Natural fractures are widespread in shales in sedimentary basins and can significantly
increase the bulk permeability and enhance fluid flow, which are thereby considered to be a …

Polygonal faults‐furrows system related to early stages of compaction–upper Miocene to recent sediments of the Lower Congo Basin
A new polygonal fault system has been identified in the Lower Congo Basin. This highly
faulted interval (HFI), 700±50 m thick, is characterized by small extensional faults displaying …
