Figure F16. CT cross-sectional images of a normal fault (interval 316-C0006F-15R-1, 63–83 cm). A. View perpendicular to core axis. B. View along the core axis. C. Thick slice CT image viewed parallel to strike of the fault; colored lines identify three correlative high CT number markers offset along the fault surface. Sense of shear is normal, and displacement is ~1 cm. With a correction based on paleomagnetic data, normal fault is oriented 068°, 78° northwest. Fault is located just above zone of tectonic breccia located at 533–543 m CSF in Hole C0006F. Half arrows = sense of shear.
