Unless you are sure of the author name and/or location name, could you be thinking of one of the classic papers on listric normal faulting from around that time? Here are 2 potential candidates with "snake" in the title:
Miller, E.L., P.B. Gans, J. Garing, 1983, The Snake River Decollement: An Exhumed Mid-Tertiary Ductile-Brittle Transition; Tectonics, v. 2, pp. 239-263.
Bartley, John M. and Brian P. Wernicke, 1984, The Snake River Decollement Interpreted as a Major Extensional Shear Zone; Tectonics, v.3, No. 6, pp. 647-657.

Hi All!
I hope everyone is well.
I wondered if someone can help me. I am after a reference, of which I only have the following details: (i) Robinson (1983); (ii) Snake Mountain; and (iii) Nevada. The paper, at least in part, deals with low-angle and/or listric normal faulting Now, I concede that one of these 'clues' might be wrong, but I thought that some sleuth out there might be able to help me!
Thanks,
Chris
