From: Cretaceous syn-sedimentary faulting in the Wildhorn Nappe (SW Switzerland)

Fig. 7

a Rezli area (603719/138414); for location, see Fig. 2: tilted Schrattenkalk and Garschella Formations are progressively onlapped during sedimentation of the Amden Formation. Base and top of Amden Formation are unconformable, with the Tertiary succession transgressive onto the Cretaceous sequence. b, c The southern part of the Sex Rouge area (for location, see Fig. 2): growth fault-related structure during sedimentation of the Amden Formation and the lower part of the Wang Formation (Early Maastrichtian). The Eocene deposits lie unconformably on the Wang Formation. Yellow line palaeo-escarpment. The Wang Formation passively recovers the relief by increasing sedimentation rate on the hanging wall of the no-longer active faults
