Volume loss and metasomatism during cleavage formation in carbonate rocks

Revisiting the Hubbert–Rubey pore pressure model for overthrust faulting: Inferences from bedding-parallel detachment surfaces within Middle Devonian gas shale, the Appalachian Basin, USA

“…Evidence presented here supports the hypothesis that these slip surfaces are controlled by a diffusion mass transfer where their development may depend on the mineralogy of the substrate host rock. Details of the mineralization will give clues about the active processes during slip, be they congruent or incongruent pressure solution (Fry, 1982), diffusion to pressure shadows which allow fiber growth (Durney and Ramsay, 1973), or outright transport in a fluid to some host elsewhere in the section (Davidson et al, 1998). If these surfaces are not a product of frictional wear, can they be incorporated in any model based on Coulomb wedge theory (Davis et al, 1983)?…”
