N2 - Geologic and geophysical evidence from W Klamath Mountains, California, provides quantitative information on the shape and regional subsurface extent of the Orleans fault. The regional extent of the juxtaposition of different units across the fault implies a minimum horizontal displacement of 110 km due to westward overthrusting. The fault cuts the Wooley Creek batholith, which indicates that thrusting took place after intrusion at 163 + or - 3 Ma. The shape of the fault near Condrey Mountain is consistent with post-thrusting Neogene uplift of the Condrey Mountain dome and suggests a minimum of 6 km of differential uplift. -from Authors
