古断裂一词虽然很早就被广大地质工作者所引用,但对古断裂的概念、类型、特点等还没有统一的认识和系统的论述。因此,笔者在开展古断裂研究时,对于什么样的断裂是古断裂,包括那些类型、什么特点等一系列问题感到无从着手。鉴于这种情况,撰写此文,一方面与有关同志交换意见,另一方面做为笔者今后开展古断裂研究的设想。 Although the term ancient fault was quoted by geologists as early as possible, there is no unified cognition and systematic discussion about the concept, type and characteristic of ancient fault. Therefore, the author in the study of paleo-fractures, for what kind of fault is paleo-fracture, including those types, what characteristics and a series of problems feel unable to proceed. In view of this situation, writing this article, on the one hand, exchanged opinions with the comrades concerned, on the other hand, as the author in the future to carry out research on paleo-fracture.
