* Shale Smear Factor (SSF) or clay smear factor is how far the vertical displacement is to the thickness of the claystone that is cut by the fault, and SSF does not become a seal if it is > 7. SSF is considered effective when applied to a simple single fault plane (not multiple fault planes) and only one clay layer is enlarged<ref name=Fossen_2010>Fossen, H., 2010, Structural Geology: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 463 p.</ref>. | * Shale Smear Factor (SSF) or clay smear factor is how far the vertical displacement is to the thickness of the claystone that is cut by the fault, and SSF does not become a seal if it is > 7.
