QUIN’s database statistical and quality characteristics. Key: FSP = Fault Striation Pair, T45 and T30 = extensional axes. PN = Pure Normal fault, NF = Normal Fault, NS = Normal Strike-slip fault, SN = Strike-slip Normal fault, SS = Strike-Slip fault, PSS = Pure Strike-Slip fault. (a) Cake diagram with percentage of FSP data first given in the present paper or derived from the literature (A-references containing one of the authors of this paper; B = exclusively other Authors); histograms representing quality rankings (A, B, C, where A is the best) for SS location and FSP data resolution. (b) Density contours of pole stereographic projections subdivided for Structural Sites (SS) lying on west- and east-dipping Host Faults (poles to planes). (c) Rake histogram with rake-based kinematic bins and corresponding pitches angles with relative frequency expressed in percent. (d) Trend rose diagram and plunge histogram (e) of the tensional deformation axis T45, calculated assuming the fracture angle θ = 45°. (f) Trend rose diagram and plunge histogram (g) of the tensional deformation axis T30, calculated assuming the fracture angle θ = 30°. (h) T-axis (T30 and T45) density contours from this database, compared with the (i) T-axis density contours of upper crust (depth < 15 km) focal mechanisms in the IPSI’s database2 within the boundaries of the QUIN study area.
