Key steps in the evolution of the Alps with focus on the Southern Alps and on the inheritance of rift-related extensional domains (sensu Mohn et al., 2010) during collision. See text for a detailed explanation (redrawn after Butler, 2013; Dezes et al., 2004; Handy & Stünitz, 2002; Mohn et al., 2014). Fault Codes: AT: Arosio thrust; CL: Canavese Line; GB: Gonfolite backthrust; J and L2 are deep-seated shear zones discussed in this study; MF: Marzio Fault; ML: Maggiore Line; PL: Pogallo Line; VT: Villafortuna-Trecate high
