Fig. 9

Indications for rotation of a strike-slip fault cutting through folded Middle Jurassic limestones in the Folded Jura (Hauptrogenstein Fm.; outcrop 12, see in Fig. 1; Table 1 for location). After rotation of the fault-slip dataset by the bedding dip angle, calculated stress axes are in line with the Andersonian model (see text for discussion). Note that the fault plane also shows signs of post-folding strike-slip movement (Lineation 2), indicating no major changes in fault-slip kinematics and orientation of stress axes between folding. Fracture data are illustrated as lower hemisphere equal area projections
