Abstract. A thrust-bound footwall syncline located within the
proximal part of the southern Jasmund Glacitectonic Complex is investigated,
exploring the spatio-temporal relationship between glacitectonic macro- and
microstructures. Orientation and geometry of macroscale folds and thrust
faults reveal a two-phased deformation history recorded by the sedimentary
sequence. The deformation is a result of glacitectonic imbrication and
subsequent ice flow across Jasmund Peninsula during the late Weichselian.
Clast microfabrics preserved within the folded glacial diamicts reveal that
till-internal deformation is mainly related to subglacial shearing within
the glacier bed, which predates large-scale imbrication and folding.
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.
