Fig. 4

Wildhorn area (“frontal region” and northern part of the “alpine region”) showing an example of the folding style (cf. Fig. 3, profile AB). Red lines Neogene faults, violet palaeo-faults, blue thrusts, other coloured lines formational limits. b, c Panoramic view of the southern flank of the Wildhorn (“southern region” and “alpine region”). The panoramic photograph of a shows the north-western end of profile AB, and that of b, c the south-western end of profile AB (viewed from opposite direction). The thickness changes across the palaeo-faults (violet) in the Wang Formation seal the palaeo-topography created by the Cretaceous syn-sedimentary faulting. Neogene faults (red lines) cross-cut the whole structure
