Abstract

Highlights: [•] Bouguer gravity anomalies around Orientale may arise from faults beneath the rings. [•] We inverted the Bouguer gravity gradients for the properties of the faults and crust. [•] Gravity data supports a density stratified crust and a fault beneath the Cordillera. [•] The existence of a fault beneath the Outer Rook cannot be confirmed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
