Geometric and kinematic analysis of a transpression terrane boundary: Minas fault system, Nova Scotia, Canada

The Minas fault system is an ENE-WSW trending transpressional boundary between the Appalachian Meguma and Avalon tectono-stratigraphic terranes of Nova Scotia, Canada. Along this boundary there is large-scale partitioning of deformation into distinct external (contractional) and internal (shear) zon...
