Dear Fabrizio,
we published a paper on JGR (Salvini et al., 1997, 102, 24.669-24.696) where
we show the termination of intraplate strike slip fault systems into
transtensional basins at an acute angle from the master fault zones. You may
have a look at the paper. A specific paper on the structural architecture at
the termination of one of these fault systems is currently submitted to
Tectonophysics. If you are interested and if it will be accepted, I'll send
you a copy of it in the final form.
You may also have a look at a paper by:
Bayasgalan, A., Jackson, J., Ritz, J.F., Carretier, S., 1999. Field examples
of strike-slip fault terminations in Mongolia and their tectonic
significance. Tectonics 18, 394-411.
You will find there other references on the subject.
Best wishes,
Fabrizio
