Antithetic shear and the formation of back folds in the central Brooks Range fold and thrust belt, Alaska

Abstract: The Brooks Range of northern Alaska is a north-vergent fold and thrust belt formed in Late Jurassic to Tertiary time. Although the north-directed transport is recognized and evidenced by ubiquitous macro-, meso-, and microscopic structures, antithetic, south-vergent folds occur, attesting to relative, but not necessarily absolute, south-directed tectonic transport. These back folds are mainly the result of strain incompatibilities related to northward displacement across a ramp and the formation of an antiform… Show more
