Pre-folding restoration of the cross-sections of Figs. 8 and 10 by geometrical modeling. a Simplified cross-sections B-B’ and D-D’ (Figs. 8 and 10). b Geometric models obtained by heterogeneous simple shear superimposed on an initial normal fault. Modeling performed with Shear2F software (Rey 2002). Model outputs are vertical cross-sections through the 3D models. Detailed parameters of the applied deformations are given as Additional files (1 and 2). This demonstrates that the observed present-day geometry can be obtained by folding on an initial normal-fault
