The occurrence of large scale kink bands in Campanian chalk at the Gulf of Elat (‘Aqaba) rift zone
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
Three sets of kink bands occur in Campanian chalk, near the coast of the Gulf of Elat. The kink bands can be traced by a system of vertical joints, intersecting the chalk and filled with secondary crystalline calcite. The geometry and the development of these structures are described, suggesting a change of the stress regime during the opening of the rift along the studied area.
