Testing Interpretations Of The Displacement Magnitude Of The Teton Fault And Uplift Of The Teton Range, Wyoming With Integrated Flexural-Kinematic And Thermal Modeling, Autumn Helfrich
Theses and Dissertations--Earth and Environmental Sciences
The Teton fault is a range-front normal fault in northwestern Wyoming. Previous estimates of the maximum displacement (Dmax) on the Teton fault cover a wide range (2 - 11 km). Discrepancies also exist regarding the slip onset timing, which spans 2 - 13 Ma. To address these discrepancies, the exhumation history of the Teton Range is here investigated using forward flexural-kinematic (Move) and thermal-kinematic (Pecube) models that can be compared with previously reported apatite fission track (AFT) and apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) ages from Mount Moran, which has been previously hypothesized to represent the …
