Abstract:
A total of 1207 fracture and bedding planes including fault striations and senses of slip on the fault slickensides were collected from 93 rock outcrops in the central German platform. The data collected by geological compass, mostly from Triassic sedimentary strata, and include spatial orientation of the fracture and bedding planes in strike/dip/rake format. The data provide valuable information on relative tilt geometry between the fractures and sedimentary strata. The data, combined with additional criteria of kinematic changes, were used to reconstruct the succession of brittle deformation and states of paleostress fields during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic times. The results suggest a succession of events, which begins with a post-Triassic normal faulting regime followed by strike-slip and thrust faulting regimes, supposedly in the Late Cretaceous time, and by two younger events of normal and oblique thrust faulting regimes during the Cenozoic time.

Comment:
Each data entry type is described by two characters as follow:
The 1st character: C, certain; P, probable; S, supposed; B, bedding; J, joint.
The 2nd character: N, normal; I, inverted; D, dextral; S, sinistral; P, pressure; X, extension.
Values of entries from left to right are: azimuth of strike (three digits), dip angle of plane (two digits) and its direction, rake angle of striation (two digits) and its direction.
The directions are given as N, north; S, south; W, west; E, east. The strike, dip and rake angles are in degrees.
Sedimentary outcrops without bedding plane denote horizontal strata.
