Similarly, the West Potrillo transfer zone occupies a position in the zone of overlap of north-trending, west-dipping faults, but the structural details of the transfer zone are largely hidden beneath Quaternary lava flows. The Cutter Sag transfer zone is located between the overlapping tips of north-trending, west-dipping faults, and is characterized by a north-dipping structural ramp segmented by closely spaced, NE-trending normal faults.
Four late Palaeogene and Neogene transfer zones within the southern Rio Grande rift, USA, are described, based on geological mapping at the scale of 1:24 000 and analysis of synrift stratigraphy. Despite recent interest in transfer zones in regions of continental extension, their detailed geometry and kinematics remain unclear.
