Fig.Ā 9

Forward-modelled cross section of the Clos du Doubs to constrain and validate the thrust sequence of the forward models for the Mont Terriā€“Mont Russelin section (Fig.Ā 10). Section trace is shown in Figs.Ā 1, 2, and 4. Initial basement-related extensional faults are offset by an out-of-sequence series of thrust-wedges that connected the basal detachment to the detachment in the overlying Staffelegg Formation to form a tectonic wedge and a presently surfacing back-thrust. The final-stage geometry shown under (4) was not modelled in detail to fit with the present-day geometry. The stratigraphic units are described in Figs.Ā 2 and 3
