Conceptual model of passive deformation of a pre-existing discordance. a Initial geometry resulting from the movement of a high-angle synsedimentary normal fault. b Transformation of the initial geometry by heterogeneous simple shear (sinusoidal function). Modeling was performed using the Shear2F software (Rey 2002)
