Fig. 14

Illustration of fault-slip analysis for five selected outcrops where NW–SE to NNW–SSE as well as NNE–SSW to NE–SW Late Miocene shortening directions were reconstructed (compare Fig. 12). Sub-figures a to e show the two fault-slip subsets for the different outcrops respectively (numbers on the left side refer to Tables 1, 3 and Fig. 1). For each subset the fault-lineation pair is shown as tangent-lineation and P–T axis plot together with contoured dihedras and principal stress axes estimates stemming from the fault-slip analysis (compare Fig. 13). a Distinctively differing shortening directions derived from pre- and post-folding fault-slip data close to a major thrust fault in the Folded Jura. b Differing orientation of shortening directions most likely due to poor kinematic fracture data underlying the fault-slip analysis. c Differing shortening directions close to a major thrust fault in the Folded Jura. d, e Marginally differing shortening directions between fault-slip data at the front of the Deformed Tabular Jura
