South Virgin-White Hills detachment fault system of SE Nevada and NW Arizona: Applying apatite fission track thermochronology to constrain the tectonic evolution of a major continental detachment fault

The South Virgin–White Hills detachment (SVWHD) in the central Basin and Range province with an along‐strike extent of ∼60 km is a major continental detachment fault system. Displacement on the SVWHD decreases north to south from ∼17 to
