Field impressions of outcrop-scale faults as observable in the study area. a A reverse fault in thinly bedded limestones and marls of the Lower Malm Wildegg Fm. (outcrop 37). b A normal fault cutting through clastic sediments of the Upper Marine Molasse showing several meters of vertical offset (outcrop 59). c A normal fault offsetting bedded Upper Malm limestones (Villigen Fm.) by a couple of meters (outcrop 32). d A several meter thick damage zone associated with a normal fault cutting through Upper Malm limestone (Villigen Fm.; outcrop 15). See Fig. 1 and in Table 1 for outcrop locations
