Intrabasinal faulting in Cretaceous forearc basins of Baja California, Mexico
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6689396
Cretaceious forearc basins in Baja California show abundant evidence of intrabasinal faulting. This resulted in (1) growth of fan deltas on the margins of intrabasinal horst blocks, (2) development of a submarine canyon along the axis of a half-graben, and (3) rapid, extreme fluctuations in relative sea level due to vertical tectonics. The fill of these tectonically active residual and arc massif basins is much more complex than that of the same basin types, of similar age, to the north in the Great Valley forearc basin of California.
