Figure F17. A. Projection of bedding attitudes onto plane trending 300°, the mean plane of the girdle of bedding dips, Site C0019. Bedding attitudes are projected from inclined orientation of the well along an average azimuth also projected into the plane oriented at 300°. B. Structural interpretation of bedding dips based on data in A. Interpretation accommodates shallow bedding dips of structural Domain 1 and steeper bedding dips of structural Domain 2, including a sequence of sheared-out folds around the probable fault at 720 mbsf. The relatively shallow dips of structural Domain 3 occur below the probable fault at 820 mbsf and lie in a zone of shallowly dipping reflectors just above the oceanic basement. This structural interpretation accommodates the bedding dip information as well as possible but is only one of many possible interpretations that could fit the available data. Dashed red lines = fault locations.
