Simplified block model of the geometry of the Middle Jurassic basin. The block in the upper left (Swiss/Vorarlberg Säntis nappe and Gonzen-Walenstadt imbricates) is shown as removed from the block on the right in order to display the latter’s internal structure. The Middle Jurassic basin is located to the south and southeast and interpreted to be bounded by synsedimentary normal faults. The basin fill is thought to form the core of the fold arc of Vorarlberg. Vertical exaggeration: 20×
