Field mapping and stereonet analysis of brittle and ductile structural data collected during 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping of the Milford quadrangle yielded the following general observations, which suggest that the ductile deformational history of this region appears to have strongly influenced the later development of brittle structures in the same rocks: The behavior of these fractures in relation to ductile structure have implications for rheological constraints on tectonic models of the post-Alleghenian core of the New England Appalachians, hydrogeologic models of regional fractured bedrock aquifers, and the interpretation of topographic lineaments. %B Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs %7 2 %I Geological Society of America (GSA) : Boulder, CO, United States %C Buffalo, NY %V 40 %P 3 %8 03/2008 %G eng %U https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2008NE/finalprogram/abstract_134899.htm %0 Online Database %D 2009 %T Brittle Structure Database of the Wilmington quadrangle, Massachusetts %A Stephen B Mabee %K #FractureMaps %K #MGSPub %K Andover %K Bedford %K Billerica %K Burlington %K fault %K fracture %K fracture trace %K groundwater %K hydrostructural domains %K joint %K North Reading %K Reading %K Tewksbury %K Wilmington %K Woburn %X
