Vein spacing in extending, layered rock: The effect of synkinematic cementation
Cemented fractures (veins) commonly show mm-scale spacing, even in layerbound arrangements in beds of cm- to dm-scale thickness. The relief of tension around such layerbound fractures should preclude nearby fracture propagation and result in cm- to dm-scale fracture spacing. We hypothesize that ceme...
