... Plateau has exposed low-volume basaltic intrusions, such as dikes, plugs, and domes, in a small area (200 × 100 m), which we refer to as the Carmel outcrop, in the San Rafael Desert, Utah. This locality ( Figs. 1A and 1B ) provides a unique opportunity to explore the mechanisms that govern...

(a) Jointed deformation-band shear zone in the Jurassic Entrada Formation at the San Rafael Desert site. (b) Two sets of joints are evident in northeast-dipping deformation bands: a northeast-striking, vertical set (black poles) and a northwest-striking, gently southwest-dipping set (gray poles). Both joint sets are perpendicular to north-dipping deformation bands. (c) Two sets of joints are exposed in south-dipping deformation bands: a northeast-striking, steep joint set and a northwest-striking, gently north-dipping set. Both joint sets are perpendicular to south-dipping deformation bands. (d) Plot of deformation-band thickness versus joint spacing at the San Rafael Desert site. The steep, northeast-striking joint set (set 1) is plotted as black diamonds. The gently dipping joint set (set 2) is plotted as gray squares.

 Deformation band thickness v. displacement, plotted for different lithologies. Cataclastic deformation bands are from the Entrada Sandstone, San Rafael Desert, Utah. Data from disaggregation–phyllosilicate bands are from Jurassic sandstones in the Gullfaks Field reservoir, northern North Sea. It should be noted that fine-grained bands are thinner than coarse-grained bands.

Comparison of data in the literature with the ring-shear results obtained in this study. (A) Comparison of the permeability ratios of deformation bands and host rocks. This figure covers five outcrops found in the following areas in the western United States: Arches Park, the Buffington Window, the San Rafael Desert, the San Rafael Reef, and Pismo Basin (Ballas et al., 2015). Most of the permeability data shown were obtained for the cataclastic structure that formed in host rocks with a porosity of ~25% and burial depths of 2–3 km that developed mainly cataclastic bands, clusters, and slipped bands. (B) Contrast between the permeabilities of cataclastic deformation bands and undeformed sandstone (Nogueira et al., 2021). The permeability data shown are for the Barreiras Formation, NE Brazil. (C) The ratio of the permeabilities of the fault core and undeformed sandstone for 1 cm < displacement < 5 cm (Pizzati et al., 2020a). The permeability of the fault core is 1.5 orders of magnitude lower than that of undeformed sandstone. (D) The ratio of the permeabilities of the fault core and undeformed sandstone for 5 cm < displacement < 10 cm (Pizzati et al., 2020a). The permeability of the fault core is two to three orders of magnitude lower than that of undeformed sandstone. (E) Permeability of the different types of bands and ring-shear results (Ballas et al., 2012). (F) Porosity versus permeability plot of the 15 core plug measurements from five sandstone samples from Hopeman, Moray Firth Basin, Scotland, and ring-shear results (Awdal et al., 2020). Kfault and Kund denote the average permeabilities of the fault core (deformation bands) and undeformed sandstone (host rock), respectively, and D denotes the displacement.
