Dataset of Physical and Transport Property Variations Within the Carbonate-Bearing Fault Zones of the Monte Maggio Fault (Central Italy)

Trippetta, Fabio | Carpenter, Brett M | Mollo, Silvio | Scuderi, Marco M. | Scarlato, Piergiorgio | Collettini, Cristiano

2017

Here we report the raw data of the physical properties of carbonate samples collected along the Monte Maggio normal Fault (MMF), a regional structure (length ~10 km and displacement ~500 m) located within the active system of the Apennines (Italy). In particular, we report results coming from...

Velocity-dependent slip weakening by the combined operation of pressure solution and foliation development

Niemeijer, Andre

2018

Phyllosilicate-bearing faults are characterized by an anastomosing foliation with intervening hard clasts and are believed to be long-term weak structures. Here, I present results of sliding experiments on gouges of 80 wt% quartz and 20 wt% muscovite, sheared under hydrothermal conditions at...

Friction data of simulated fault gouges derived from the Groningen gas field

Hunfeld, Luuk | Niemeijer, André | Spiers, Christopher

2017

We investigated the frictional properties of simulated fault gouges derived from the main lithologies present in the seismogenic Groningen gas field (NE Netherlands), employing in-situ P-T conditions and varying pore fluid salinity. Direct shear experiments were performed on gouges prepared...

Experimental and model data of aggregate compaction by pressure solution

van den Ende, Martijn

2017

Intergranular pressure solution creep is an important deformation mechanism in the Earth’s crust. The phenomenon has been frequently studied and several analytical models have been proposed that describe its constitutive behavior. These models require assumptions regarding the geometry of the...

Brittle models of fault-volcano interactions during extension

De Matteo, Ada | Corti, Giacomo | van Wyk de Vries, Benjamin | Massa, Bruno | Mussetti, Giulio

2018

This dataset contains 11 top view photographs of fault pattern in sand surfaces from a series of analogue tectonic experiments run to investigate the interaction between faults and volcanic features in areas characterized by pure extension, such as in rift areas...

Creep data of (Dotternhausen) Posidonia shale

Rybacki, Erik | Herrmann, Johannes | Wirth, Richard | Dresen, Georg

2018

Experimentally determined data to examine the creep behavior of an immature carbonate-rich Posidonia shale (Dottenhausen), subjected to constant stress conditions at temperatures between 50 and 200 °C and confining pressures of 50–200 MPa, simulating elevated in-situ depth conditions. The...

Centrifuge models investigating the influence of transverse pre-existing weaknesses on continental rifting

Corti, Giacomo | Sordi, Riccardo | Cucci, Federica

2018

We present the results of centrifuge experiments investigating the role of preexisting crustal discontinuity on continental rifting. Specifically, we reproduce inherited weaknesses, orthogonal to the rift trend and parallel to the extension direction, and analyze their influence on the...

Supplementary paleomagnetic data to: “Paleomagnetism in the Pannonian; Problems, Pitfalls, and Progress in using iron sulphides for magnetostratigraphy”

Kelder, Nick A. | Sant, Karin | van Dijk, Gijs A. | Lathouwers, Ymke Z. | Dekkers, Mark J. | Krijgsman, Wout | Magyar, Imre | Sztanó, Orsolya

2018

This dataset contains the paleomagnetic supplementary material to the article Kelder et al. (subm.), which presents a magnetostratigraphic correlation of Late Miocene lacustrine sediments based on multi-polarity greigite. The multi-polarity is visible in most thermal paleomagnetic results...

Supplementary Material for Analogue Experiments on Lateral versus Vertical Dike Propagation

Urbani, Stefano | Acocella, Valerio | Rivalta, Eleonora

2018

The dataset includes movies of 29 analogue experiments performed to investigate the effects on dike propagation by the following imposed parameters: density ratio between host-rock and magma analogues, rigidity layering and density layering of the host medium, flow rate and topography. The...

Compilation of palaeomagnetic data from sediments and volcanic rocks spanning 30,000 to 50,000 years ago used to create the temporally continuous global spherical harmonic geomagnetic field model LSMOD.1

Brown, Maxwell | Korte, Monika | Holme, Richard | Wardinski, Ingo | Gunnarson, Sydney

2018

Compilation of palaeomagnetic data from sediments and volcanic rocks from 68 sites spanning 30,000 to 50,000 years ago used to create the temporally continuous global spherical harmonic geomagnetic field model LSMOD.1. This is in supplement to the paper "Earth's magnetic field is (probably...
