sheeted zone

Postfold ductile and brittle–ductile deformation produced regional- and outcrop-scale shear zones including the Sheeted Zone, which defines the ARIC–ARGB contact.

Younger rocks of the northwestern ARGB appear to have been tectonically juxtaposed along the Sheeted Zone against the older rocks of the northwestern ARIC.

CAPSULE DESCRIPTION: Gold-quartz veins, segregations, lodes and sheeted zones hosted by fractures, faults, folds and openings in anticlines, synclines and along bedding planes in turbidites and associated poorly sorted clastic sedimentary rocks.
