Abstract

The stratigraphic separation diagram (SSD) is an often neglected tool of fault analysis, which assists with the interpretation of both the fault-surface geometry and the mechanism of faulting. As the SSD needs to evaluate displacement or separation along the fault, this particular method can be used only in areas with well-documented stratigraphic sequences. This paper presents details of some common patterns obtained when using SSDs and also discusses some real examples of two apparently similar faults found in the Barrandian area in the Czech Republic.

Abstract (in Czech)

Diagramy stratigrafické separace jsou často užívaným nástrojem pro analýzu zlomů, který pomáhá při určení jejich geometrie a mechanismu vzniku. SSd může být užit pouze v případě dobré znalosti stratigrafie v daném území, neboť pro jeho sestavení je nutné znát stratigrafickou separaci v každém bodě zlomu. V tomto článku jsou uvedeny jednak obecná fakta, jednak příklad analýza dvou zlomů z téhož území, které se jevily shodné, avšak mají různý původ, jak dokládají SSD.
