Role of mechanical anisotropy in the internal evolution of a thrust sheet /

A planar mechanical anisotropy may be caused by stratigraphic layering, imbricate faulting, or other uniformly oriented and distributed planar deformation features within thrust sheets. The structural style of the Absaroka thrust sheet, Wyoming, varies with magnitude of shortening, stacking sequence...
