The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…Using high-resolution bathymetry and seismic reflection data, we report the discovery of new N294°E-striking shear zones, oblique to the plate fabric. These shear zones are expressed by sets of normal faults striking at N335°E, defining the direction of the principal compressional stress in the region. …”
