Uplift and exposure of the Bannock detachment system and the synextensionalbasin fi ll deposits of the Salt Lake Formation provide a unique exposure of the threedimensionalgeometries of a low-angle normal fault system and the stratal architectureof the overlying supradetachment basin. Within this system, structural andstratigraphic analyses, outcrop patterns, tephra geochronology, and geological crosssections document several important relationships: (1) the Bannock detachment systemdeveloped above the Sevier-age Cache-Pocatello culmination and resembles theSevier Desert detachment in its geometry, structural setting, and kinematic evolution;(2) the Bannock detachment system initiated and slipped at low angles; (3) fl aton-fl at, ramp-fl at, and lateral ramp geometries, …
