Magmatic arc fault systems, deformation partitioning and emplacement of granitic complexes in the Coastal Cordillera, north Chilean Andes (25°30'S to 27°00'S)
John Grocott,Graeme K. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: The Atacama Fault System was initiated at c. 132 Ma as a (mainly) left strike-slip fault during left-oblique extension of the margin in the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile as mentioned in this paper.

Vertical coupling and decoupling in the lithosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent to which observed or inferred sub-horizontal coupling or attachment zones provide vertical kinematic linkage between rheologically distinct layers in the continental lithosphere is discussed.
The structural evolution of the Zaghouan-Ressas Structural Belt, northern Tunisia
TL;DR: The Zaghouan-Ressas Structural Belt (ZRSB) in northern Tunisia was initiated as a north-tapering horst in this system, bounded to the northwest by a pelagic basin (the Tunisian Trough) in which thick Lower Cretaceous sequences were deposited and to the east by a north south trending system of reactivated Tethyan margin faults as mentioned in this paper.

Landsat TM analysis of fracture patterns: a case study from the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile
TL;DR: In this paper, the Landsat Thematic Mapper is used as a tool to define these structural features and the lineaments were then digitized and analyzed using a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) technique to suppress noise and to enhance azimuthal variation.

Major crustal rotations in the Andean margin: Paleomagnetic results from the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile
TL;DR: Paleomagnetic analyses of Mesozoic lavas and dike swarms from the northern Chilean Coastal Cordillera, between 25.4°S and 26.6°S, reveal a clockwise rotation of about 42° as discussed by the authors.
