The Relationship between Fluid Flow, Structures, and Depositional Architecture in Sedimentary Rocks: An Example-Based Overview

Figure 11

(a) Digitized map of a fracture network at Marsalforn, Malta, with iron oxide precipitates shown as red dashed lines and a front of bleaching shown with a green dashed line. (b) Branch intensity map indicating higher density in complex zones. (c) Connecting node frequency map of the locality. There is no obvious correlation between iron oxide precipitates and higher branch intensity/connecting node frequency in this example; the iron oxide precipitates are rather localized along the pull-apart segments.
