In this study, we present structural, fracture orientation and fracture density (FD) data in order toquantify the deformation pattern of a damage zone that form around the slip plane of a large scalethrust fault which is located on the Ionian zone (External Hellenides) in northwestern Greece. Structuralanalysis showed at least two major deformation stages as indicated by the presence of refolding,backthrusting and break-back faulting. The fracture orientation analysis revealed three mainfracture systems, a dominant conjugate fracture system which is perpendicular to the transport direction(NW-to NNW trending sets), a conjugate fracture system trending parallel to the transport direction(ENE-trending conjugate sets) and a third diagonal conjugate fracture system (WNW andNNE trending sets). Resulting fracture density-distance diagrams display a decrease of total fracturedensity away from the studied fault, which is largely heterogeneous and irregular on both footwalland hanging wall. The conjugate fracture system trending perpendicular to the transport directionhas the dominant contribution to the accumulation of total fracture density. Based on theseresults we suggest that the observed heterogeneous and irregular distribution of fracture densityfashioned during the second deformation stage and is attributed to the formation of backthrusts andbreak-back thrust faults.
