Three steps in the supposed palaeotectonic and sedimentologic development of the SRZ during Late Eocene times. Schematic and vertically exaggerated. Bold arrows indicate relative sea-level changes. EIZ: realm of future Einsiedeln Imbrcate Zone. See text for explanation. Note that the we assume the three normal faults to have been active with decreasing slip rates during all three stages. They supposedly rotated during later compressive (Neogene) deformation and inverted to form the steeply south-dipping inverse faults displayed on Fig. 5
