==Fault A′==
In the East Breaks 160-161 minibasin, the [[Growth fault|fault]] splay fault A′ forms the northern boundary to the field (Figures 4-42 and 4-43). The dynamic phase of this fault is recorded by the wedge-shaped sediment thickening into the fault, deposited between pre-''Hyal B'' (ca. 1.00 Ma) time of deposition and late ''Trim A'' (ca. 0.56 Ma) time of deposition (Figure 4-31). Its growth phase began about 1.20 Ma.<ref name=ch04r10>Armentrout, J. M., and J. F.
