In this study, the authors used Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data to identify structural lineaments in the high deformed Slick Hills area of southwestern Oklahoma. These low-lying hills represent a sequence of Cambrian-Ordovician rocks (primarily carbonates) that were intensely folded and faulted during the Pennsylvanian and Early Permian. Their analysis of landsat TM computer-generated images (scale, 1:70,000) revealed two major lineament orientations from rose diagram plots. One set of lineaments trends N30{degree}-60{degree}W and is associated with left-lateral, thrust, and high-angle reverse faults. These faults, as well as fold axes and fracture patterns, dominate the study area and are well documented in the literature.
