  1. It shows that fault cores usually have lower average Vsh, higher PHIE, and higher fracture density
  2. We modify the Damage zone and Healed zone to be normal fonts in order to be clearer
  3. Bold normal fonts are the interval of each fault zone
  4. Bold Italic fonts are the interval of fault core within different fault zones
