“In cases where pre-existing structures were more radial, e.g., the Bank and West Rand Faults in the north (Fletcher and Reimold 1989) or the Sugarbush Fault in the east (Brink et al. 1997), motions induced by the Vredefort event were more strike-slip than thrusting.”

“There are some exceptions, however, such as the Potchefstroom Fault, where the orientations of pre-existing structures were such that their reactivation by the Vredefort impact event resulted in strikeslip motions.”

“They also noted that outward thrusting in the inner zone (so-called Ensels Thrust Zone; Fig. 3) around the Vredefort Dome occurred after the uplift and local overturning of the collar rocks around the basement core, an observation also made by Simpson (1978).”

“Slickenslide orientations in the thrusts in the northwest quadrant of the Basin clearly indicated an overall radial direction of movement, with respect to the center of the Vredefort Dome.”

“The innermost (Ensels Thrust Zone in the terminology of Brink et al. 1997) structures are concentric and inward dipping.”

“Brink et al. (1997) also noted the reactivation of pre-existing structures, such as the MBPF, and that the sense of motion on thrusts was outward away from the dome.”

In the citing paper
“In this context, the structural data from Vredefort would suggest that the most likely manifestation of the location of such a ring, at the current level of erosion, is at the convergence of movements between the outward-directed, inward-dipping thrusts of the inner zone surrounding the Vredefort Dome (Ensels Thrust Zone in the terminology of Brink et al. 1997Brink et al. , 2000) ) and the inward-”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
