Abstract
In New Zealand, the onland Marlborough Fault System connects the Hikur angi subduction zone with the Alpine Fault. Within the easternmost par t of the system, wrench tectonics commenced in the Middle Miocene with subsidence and depositional basins developing adjacent to the faults. On the Alpine Fault, strike-slip movement began in the Early Miocene. Wrench tectonics thus rapidly extended over the entire Marlborough Fa ult System.
