One limitation, he said, is that each fault segment probably has its own characterisic precursors determined by rock type, fault geometry and tectonic history.

It is important to separate local from large-scale tectonic history of the orogenic belt in order to understand the orogeny.

This section through a sequence of rock layers that were deposited between 53-49 million years ago, has become exposed because of its later tectonic history.
