    The document provides instructions and data for plotting various geological features on a stereonet, including: 1) Eight bedding planes and their orientations. 2) Six lineations and their plunge and trend measurements. 3) Data for four overprinted fault slickenlines, including fault orientation and each slickenline's plunge and trend. It asks to identify which slickenlines are impossible and the fault type. 4) Four examples giving the orientation of a fault plane and the pitch of a lineation from a direction, asking to find the lineation's trend and plunge.

    3.9. Imagine that you discover a previously
    unreported fault in your mapping area.
    During field mapping, you recorded the
    trend and plunge of 4 different and
    overprinted sets of slickenlines. Here is the
    information from your field notes:
    • Fault Surface Strike/Dip: 321°, 47°E
    • Slickenline lineation 1 Plunge, 47°, Trend:
    N51 °E
    • Slickenline lineation 2 68°, due N
    (4)
    • Slickenline lineation 3 47°, N51 W
    • Slickenline lineation 4 34°, due N
    a) Assuming that you recorded the planar
    attitude of the fault surface correctly, (3) (1)
    determine which lineation measurements
    are impossible. In other words, which
    (2)
    lineation(s) cannot possibly lie in the
    specified plane. This time, support your
    statements with a well constructed
    stereonet.
    Lineations 2 and 3 are impossible because
    they are not plotted on the great circle of
    the fault.
    b) Assuming the measurement of lineation 1 is
    correct, is the fault a strike-slip fault or a dip
    slip fault?
    Strike-slip fault: lineation trend=strike direction;
    Dip-slip fault: lineation trend=dip direction.
    Lineation 1 trend=47°, so it is not a strike slip
    fault.
    Dip direction = strike+90°=441° = 441°-360° =
    51°, so it is a dip slip fault.
