To characterize the initiation of a new thrust ramp, we begin at the point where the first backthrust–forethrust pair has formed at the rear of the wedge at 2,500 m of backstop displacement (Fig. 2a).

An 80 km-long unexplored subsurface detachment fold, the Eureka structure, exists in the southern Appalachian thrust belt just east of the Cumberland escarpment in eastern Tennessee. The Eureka ...

The fold and thrust belt play that extends through eastern Nevada and western Utah remains largely underexplored (Fig. 1). Given its enormous area, there is potential for a subset of the fold and ...
