... We have examined the deformation associated with a right-releasing stepover along the dextral Walker Lane belt where it traverses Wild Horse Mesa in eastern California. We use a micropolar inversion of both seismic focal mechanism and fault-slickenline data and compare the results...

Coso Range (after Lewis et al. [2007]). (a) Map showing the location of the Coso Range in east central California and of Wild Horse Mesa within the Coso Range. Labeled open dots are the GPS stations of McClusky et al. (2001). The triangle with vertices at three of the GPS stations is cell 34 of Lewis et al. (2007), which includes Wild Horse Mesa. The letter X labels the locations in Petroglyph Canyon and Sheep Canyon where the fault-slickenline data were gathered. Stars show locations from which the paleomagnetic orientations were determined; curved arrows around the stars show the paleomagnetic rotation of lavas in the fault stepover relative to the same lavas outside the stepover, which averages 12.0°±2.6°. Solid diamonds and open squares show the epicenters of earthquakes at greater than and less than 5 km depth, respectively; the focal mechanisms from these events were inverted for a solution of the local deformation. (b) Stereogram showing the orientations of the axis of maximum rates of lengthening () and shortening () inferred from the inversion of fault-slickenline data and from the inversion of GPS velocity data from the triangular cell shown in part (a). The boundary of the shaded areas is the locus of zero instantaneous extension. Lower hemisphere equal area projection. (c) Values of the deformation rate parameter D and the relative vorticity parameter W inferred from two independent methods: first, from the inversion of fault-slickenline data; and second, from the inversion of GPS velocities for the vertices of the triangular cell in part (a), which defines the macrovorticity and the maximum macroshear rate, and from the paleomagnetically determined block-rotation rates, which define the microvorticity.

Figure 2. Location map and major geographic and geologic features discussed in this paper. Coso Range, Little Lake fault zone (LLFZ), Airport Lake fault zone (ALFZ), Coso Wash fault (CWF), White Hills anticline (WHA), Wild Horse Mesa fault (WHMF), Lower Centennial Flat (LCF), Haiwee Spring (HS). Faults are designated as heavy black lines, dashed where approximate. Arrows indicate sense of offset on faults, and tick mark is on downthrown block of normal faults.

Figure 5. Cross section through the Dooley and McClay (1997) 30° translational stepover model. Model depth to basement from the original surface is 8 km. Alternating dark and light bands represent prekinematic layers. Stippled layers are postkinematic layers that are added at various stages of model advancement. The “A” and “T” in the circles represent blocks moving away from and toward the viewer, respectively. Projected location of cross section A–A′ is shown on Figure 1. LLF—Little Lake fault, ALF-CWF—Airport Lake fault–Coso Wash fault, WHMF—Wild Horse Mesa fault. Little Lake fault designation is queried on this cross section because it is not clear whether it is actually that fault or the furthermost fault on the left of the figure.
