Structural evolution along the inner forearc of the obliquely convergent Hikurangi margin, New Zealand

Article Abstract:

A study of the sedimentary rock types in the former Eketahuna basin in the southern region of the North Island of New Zealand provides insightful information on the structural and tectonic evolution of the inward section of the forearc over the last 10 million years. The forearc region, which was a zone for nonstop marine deposition in the first seven of the last 10 million years, has transformed into the leading edge of the Australian plate.
