AAPG Bulletin Volume 89, Number 9
ON COVER --Shale entrained along a normal fault with 9 m of dip separation at Black Diamond Mines, California. Shale is entrained from a 1.6-m (5-ft)-thick source layer of sandy shale that is contained in sandstone of the Eocene Domengine Formation and attenuated to about 5 cm (2 in.) within the fault. Sand layers within the source shale are extended and boudinaged within the deformed shale, forming the lighter colored sand-rich layers within darker clay-rich shale. Photograph by Peter Eichhubl.
