Folding and associated meso-structural features of the Taviano syncline. Mesostructural site “e” in Fig. 4. a Hinge zone of the parasitic z shaped folds with axial trend NW–SE and E–W directed as shown in the stereonet. b Detail on the hinge zone with evidence of sediment accretion and related hinge thickening. c Flexural slip developed on the flanks of the fold. d, e Small-scale normal faults interpreted as Riedel shears (R) associated to flexural slip. The slip direction on the faults collected along the fold limbs is oblique to the fold axis suggesting that the folds are non-cylindrical
