Geological offsets and age constraints along the northern Dead Sea fault, Syria
North of the Lebanese restraining bend, the northern Dead Sea fault in Syria cuts Late Miocene- Pliocene intraplate alkali basalts that have 40Ar/39Ar ages ranging between 6.4 ± 0.1 and 3.7 ± 0.1 Ma. Despite a wide (40 m) gouge zone in places, only between 5.3 and 16.8 km of Pliocene-Recent left-lat...
