Kinematics and Timing of Brittle-Ductile Shearing of Mylonites along the Bok Bak Fault, Peninsular Malaysia

Study on the Bok Bak fault in Peninsular Malaysia reveals it to be a predominantly dextral brittle-ductile strike slip fault zone. This fault zone is characterized by gentle to sub-horizontal NE stretching lineation. The deformation occurred in a brittle-ductile domain. 40Ar/39Ar radiometric dating...
