STRESSANDSTRAIN RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE EASTERN SEGMENT OF THE BALTIC SHIELD by Lidia A. Sim, Dmitry V. Zhirov, Anton V. Marinin

“…The second field is younger as suggested by traces of two displacements identified on several planes, the youngest of which are shears.From the analysis of measurements taken at 273 planes with striations, it is evident that striations are distributed in a bandshape pattern. The band of fractures is coincident with the plane of the transition axis of the young ‘regional field (Figure 9); main maximums of density of the planes with striations are symmetrically scattered in a fanlike pattern from the axis of compression and extension of this field. …”
