| Definitionskos:definition | The uplifted footwalls of oceanic detachment FAULTS. They are elevated, dome-shaped massifs, typically with prominent spreading-parallel corrugations on smoothly curved upper surfaces. These surfaces represent exposed now-inactive low-angle FAULT planes that have been directly responsible for the exhumation of mantle and plutonic lithologies onto the seafloor (Maffione et al., 2013; Tucholke et al., 1998). |
