Abstract

Ogchon Supergroup directly contacts with Choseon Supergroup in the northern area of Worak-san, where evidences indicating thrust-fault formed during $D_2$-deformation are observed. On footwall of thrust fault, calcite veins in Gounri Formation belonging to Choson Supergroup may be deformed during thrust faulting($D_2$). Calcite veins are parallel to axial plane cleavage($S_2$) of $F_2$ fold and truncate slaty cleavage($S_1$). Therefore, we can use deformation twins in calcite grains of the veins as a marker for inferred differential stress operated upon thrust faulting. The inferred differential stresses are estimated at 190 Mpa from K, sample. The stress from K, sample close to the contact between Ogchon Supergroup and Choseon Supergroup shows a higher value than $K_2$-$K_6$ samples, probably having an important influence upon thrust faulting. The differential stress reveal again high value at $K_7$ sample, which may suggest the presence of another thrust fault.
