Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (1977) 14 (6): 1324–1342.
... aragonite suggesting that at least part of the Takla Group may have also undergone high pressure – low temperature metamorphism.The evolution of the 450 km fault zone is discussed and a model is proposed which involves right lateral transform faulting on the Pinchi Fault and underthrusting along northerly...

A geothermal study of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 37°N
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 April 1977
GSA Bulletin (1977) 88 (4): 531–540.
... the intersection of transform faults with axes of sea-floor spreading show evidence of hydrothermal circulation in basement rocks. One of these depressions appears to have been subjected to a recent bottom-water temperature change which severely biases the heat-flow data. Some of the evidence suggests...

Morphology and tectonic evolution of the rift valley at lat 36°30′N, Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 April 1977

...IVAR B. RAMBERG; TJEERD H. VAN ANDEL Abstract In the FAMOUS area on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, four rift-valley segments trend slightly east of north and are separated by short right-lateral transform faults. From north to south, the valleys are designated rift valleys 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively...

...Michael S. Reichle; George F. Sharman; James N. Brune abstract Sonobuoys have been used in the study of two Gulf of California transform fault aftershock sequences. Uncertainties in epicentral locations are no larger than navigational uncertainties. The first local study of an oceanic transform...

Two classes of transform faults
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 August 1976
GSA Bulletin (1976) 87 (8): 1127–1130.
...WILLIAM N. GILLILAND; GARY P. MEYER Abstract A theoretical model and experimental work with cooling wax, as well as a consideration of some faults that were originally cited as transform faults, have suggested that two classes of transform faults exist. They are termed “boundary transform fault...

Published: 01 July 1976
AAPG Bulletin (1976) 60 (7): 1078–1106.
... in alignment with offset zones of the magnetic-anomaly lineations. The implicit suggestion is that intraplate tectonic activity is common, and that the western extension or “dead traces” of transform faults may provide avenues where the accumulated tectonic energy within the oceanic plate is released...

Journal: Geology
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 April 1976
Geology (1976) 4 (4): 206–210.

GSA Bulletin (1976) 87 (3): 453–462.
... of transform faults that intersect northwest-trending structural features originally developed along the axis of spreading. We interpret data obtained at Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) sites 62 and 63 as evidence for a late Oligocene cessation of spreading. Subsequent motions of the Pacific and Indian plates...
Journal Article
Geophysical and geological evidence of the relationship of Red Sea transverse tectonics to ancient fractures
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 February 1976
GSA Bulletin (1976) 87 (2): 169–181.
...MAGNUS S. GARSON; MIROSLAV KRS Abstract Wilson's concept that transform faults were initiated along ancient fractures is supported by evidence from southeastern Egypt. Geophysical and geological investigations have outlined blocks bounded by transverse fractures oriented perpendicular to the Red...

Geophysical study of the easternmost Walvis Ridge, South Atlantic: Deep structure
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 01 December 1975
GSA Bulletin (1975) 86 (12): 1713–1724.
... and Walvis Ridge — by a mantle hot spot and plume is accepted; this theory seems to explain most of the peculiar features of the Walvis Ridge. However, it is probable that the surface expression of the mantle hot spot was controlled by the presence of weak zones in the lithosphere such as transform faults...

... and Americas plates were apparently fragmented so that basins originated as irregular pull-aparts. Basin walls were formed by both transform faults and by crustal stretching and dip-slip faulting. Deep basin floors grew as a complex of volcanic rocks and sediments. As basins enlarged, high-standing blocks...
