Ten papers illustrating the range of variation in extensional style in the southwestern US as well as a variety of approaches used to study the synextensional deposits. The contributing geologists integrate sedimentology, molluscan paleontology, paleoecology, and geologic mapping to study the initiation of extension in the eastern Great Basin while others present stratigraphic reinterpretation of the Mud Hills in the central Mojave Desert, detachment faulting in California and Arizona, and evaluate models for basin formation and crustal extension.
