Abstract

None of the structural elements of the Serrania del Interior of the Eastern Caribbean Mountains continues toward the west. Near the west end of the Serrania the fold axes are dragged and cut off by the right-lateral Urica strike-slip fault. Folding in the two fault blocks was independent. The relative cumulative displacement of the Urica fault is maximum (possibly 40 kilometers or more) at its northwestern end south of Barcelona and gradually diminishes from this point southeast. In the Tacat area the Urica fault turns sharply in an easterly direction and goes over into the Pirital thrust where the horizontal component is finally taken up by the thrust movement.
