Abstract

The Stratigraphy separation diagram (SSD) is a neglected tool of fault analysis, which allows the interpretation of both fault-surface geometry and the mechanism of faulting. As it needs to evaluate displacement (separation) along the fault under study, this method can be used only in areas with well-documented (tectono) stratigraphic sequences. The paper presents both some common patterns of SSD and real examples of two apparently similar faults from the Barrandian area (Czech Republic).

Abstract (in Czech)

Diagramy stratigrafické separace jsou úžasnou pomůckou pro analýzu zlomů. V článku jsou uvedeny dva konkrétní případy využití SSD při zlomové analýze - tachlovický a pražský zlom.
