Based on consideration of relationships between fault slips (crosscutting relationship, reactivation of fault surface, etc.), spatial association between faults (e.g., conjugate patterns) and syntectonic mineral growth (e.g., quartz fibers), and taking into additional account the mechanical consistency within each subset of fault slips, it was possible to separate nine data subsets (regimes), as listed in Table 1 below.

The number of Regimes is large (9). High confidence can be placed in the definition of the regimes themselves, their sequential order, and especially the directions of compression and extension of the inferred stress tensor. A second step involves grouping the Regimes into tectonic Events where the known regional tectonics coincides with the direction of the principal stresses and the time sequence of known regional tectonic events. The grouping into Events is shown in Table 2 and discussed below.

Each Regime is depicted on a lower hemisphere equal area projection below showing the grea<sup>t</sup> circles of each of the fault planes determined. Arrows indicate the slip on the fault planes. A separate companion plot displays the same arrows and the poles to the fault planes (open circles) and the trend and plunge of the intermediate stress (σ2). Arrows pointing toward the center of the projection indicate compression. Arrows pointing to the perimeter of the projection indicate extension. Solid circles with two arrows pointing in opposite directions indicate the sense of strike-slip movement. Those with no arrowheads have an indeterminate sense of movement.
