Vein spacing in extending, layered rock: The effect of synkinematic cementation
- Abstract:
-
Cemented fractures (veins) commonly show mm-scale spacing, even in layerbound arrangements in beds of cm- to dm-scale thickness. The relief of tension around such layerbound fractures should preclude nearby fracture propagation and result in cm- to dm-scale fracture spacing. We hypothesize that cement precipitated during vein opening could re-establish tension across veins and lessen the effects of relieved tension, thus decreasing fracture spacing. We test this hypothesis using a computer-ba...
