Large, coherent, submarine landslide associated with Pan-African foreland flexure

Journal: Geology
Published: 01 August 1999
Geology (1999) 27 (8): 687-690.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613(1999)027<0687:LCSLAW>2.3.CO;2
...Paul F. Hoffman; Ebbe H. Hartz Abstract The Ombonde detachment is a primary low-angle normal fault that developed in an undeformed Neoproterozoic carbonate shelf succession as it entered a west-dipping Pan-African subduction zone. The fault is mappable from the top of the shelf succession...

... indicates the steep frontal ramp in B, not the toe of the detachment. [Colour online.] The discovery of the Ombonde detachment ( Hoffman and Hartz 1999 ) in the Kaoko belt of Namibia ( Fig. 2 ) provided an Ediacaran example for which the net displacement, paleotectonic setting, and longitudinal (i.e...
