Structural architecture and palaeofluid evolution of low-angle extensional fault systems cutting through carbonate rocks within the brittle crust. The case study of the Tellaro Detachment, Northern Apennines (Italy).
No full textFluid pressure cycles, variations in permeability, and weakening mechanisms along low-angle normal faults: the Tellaro detachment, Italy
No full textClassical frictional fault reactivation models indicate that slip along misoriented fault planes is not possible under most conditions. Nevertheless, active or exhumed low-angle normal faults have been described in many settings worldwide. This discrepancy is addressed by contrasting models: (1) those proposing that low-angle normal faults result from postkinematic passive rotation of former high-angle extensional faults; and (2) those proposing that specific conditions can promote slip along misoriented fault planes. This paper describes the Tellaro detachment, a mid–late Miocene low-angle normal fault that was responsible for ∼500 m of tectonic vertical thinning in the carbonate-dominated Triassic to Lower Miocene succession of the Northern Apennines, Italy. By integrating structural, petrographic, isotopic, and fluid inclusion data, we show that: (1) the main kinematic activity of the Tellaro detachment occurred between ∼8 and 4 km depths and peak temperature ∼190 °C; (2) dilational breccias, tens of cubic meters in volume, are frequently associated with major low-angle fault segments; (3) slip along misoriented planes was favored by elevated fluid pressures and low differential stress; and (4) the fault system was characterized by transient permeability pulses and overpressure buildups, associated with multiple fracturing and cementation events that caused the downward migration of master slip surfaces.
Results presented in this study show that: (1) in a fluid-active regime, continental crustal thinning can occur for shallow values of fault dip; (2) low-angle normal faults have a great influence on fluid circulation within the upper crust; and (3) episodic permeability enhancement and destruction in detachment faults can promote overpressure buildups, triggering deformation episodes
Rob and Bert in Tokyo
No full textThis essay is steeped in contradiction: it is as much an attempt at mourning, coping, and letting go as it is an exercise in remembrance, rediscovery, and reconnection. One of the many areas of international legal scholarship where Rob Cryer left his mark is his oeuvre on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). To pay tribute to, and get re-acquainted with, Rob-the-person, I re-read his 2010 article on the ‘dignified dissenter’ in Tokyo, Dutch Judge Bert Röling. In that article, Rob uses the memoranda and the opinion of Bert-the-judge to assess his conceptual and legal contributions to the IMTFE judgment. They also serve him as a vehicle to get a better grasp of the author behind the text and the values and dilemmas that shaped Röling’s positions on the IMTFE bench. What more can we learn and understand about Rob Cryer while ‘reading Rob reading Bert’? What aspects of Röling’s legacy did he choose to foreground, and what qualities did he appreciate most? How did Rob treat his character when shedding light on the more contentious elements of Röling’s work? Even if this essay fails in its therapeutic purpose, it might still add a few mosaic pieces to the collective construction of Rob’s portrait in this volume
