hi Retiredgeo, l'il help ? just wondering about this "hanging wall" discovery Denis L. mentions...
my understanding is that when 2 plates collide on either side of the fault is a footwall and a hanging wall, so why is it that this is a "discovery" and not a given ?
is it because they found gold bearing materials when most likely that wasn't projected of such a structure ?
is there a real basic geology101 explanation ? or am i mis-understanding this.
thanks again for your attention and expertise in many areas here,
Cy.
