a–f Evolution of the geometry of the model with increasing shortening. Basement is in black and sediments are colored. Limestone pattern indicates the stronger sediment, while the weaker sediments bear no patterns. Colored areas are used as passive markers of the deformation. g Detail of the nappe structure at 50% shortening. The black frame indicates the area of focus for Fig. 4e, f
