Cascaded processes of crossdip correction and residual statics are tested and applied in the reprocessing of regional data from LITHOPROBE Kapuskasing Transect line 2. The objective was to improve seismic imaging of shallow, gently dipping reflectors in the eastern Kapuskasing structural zone (KSZ), a thrusted slice of Archean middle to lower crust. This focusing strategy proved to be very effective in improving the image of the reflected energy and in identifying a set of conformally dipping reflectors whose true crossdip is estimated to be approximately 17¿ NW. The estimated crossdips for a reflective, compositionally layered zone and for the basal thrust, the Ivanhoe Lake Fault zone (ILFZ), support the previously estimated average dip of 15¿--20¿. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992
