Popis: The Mutito and the Ikoo faults, two dextral strike-slip faults located in eastern Kenya about 160 km east of Nairobi, represent major dislocations in rocks of the late Proterozoic Pan-African Mozambique belt. They intersect at an approximate angle of 55°. During a geological field mapping project of the Migwani area between 1978 and 1980, the structures and tectonic movements associated with both faults were investigated.
