Fossil Earthquakes: The Formation and Preservation of Pseudotachylytes

This book focuses on the earthquake source materials produced or deformed by both seismic faulting and a seismic creep within seismogenic fault zones at different levels of the crust. In particular, the mechanisms and processes involved in the formation of earthquake materials are covered. The book is intended to help bridge the gap between seismology and geology and to encourage further studies of earthquake mechanisms and seismic faulting processes.
