Shear Versus Tensile Failure Mechanisms Induced by Sill Intrusions: Implications for Emplacement of Conical and Saucer‐Shaped Intrusions

Sills, saucer‐shaped sills, and cone sheets are fundamental magma conduits in many sedimentary basins worldwide. Models of their emplacement usually approximate the host rock properties as purely elastic and consider the plastic deformation to be negligible. However, many field observations suggest...
