Quantifying vein attributes in massive mudstones (Triassic, SW England): implications for progressive evolution of opening-mode fracture networks

Attributes of gypsum vein arrays in the Triassic massive mudstones of SW England were analyzed to infer the process of vein network evolution. Field data demonstrate that there is no clear correlation between vein orientation and thickness; however, sub-horizontal veins have a higher average thickne...
