Abstract

The fault is 200 km in length, trending N 5°W., cutting the N 30° E-trending structure of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains. Correlation of northwesterly-dipping Paleozoic and Mesozoic sequences on either side of the fault show that the fault is vertical, with a left-lateral displacement of about 40 km. The youngest beds displaced are Senonian, dating the movement as Upper Senonian (a post-geosynclinal stage of the Sikhote-Alin development). — P. B. Ives
