Phyllosilicate injection along extensional carbonate-hosted faults and implications for co-seismic slip propagation: Case studies from the central Apennines, Italy
Phyllosilicates occur into massive carbonate-hosted fault zones in central Apennines. Phyllosilicates injected from clay-rich deposits at the top of the sedimentary sequence. Phyllosilicates concentrate along narrow layers and/or mix within fault rocks. These layers can facilitate earthquake-slip propagation and surface faulting.
