Fig. 8

The Varese section (trace in Fig. 1a). Line drawing from reflection profiles C2, C3 and S3 of the NRP-20 project (Pfiffner & Heitzmann, 1997; Shumachet, 1997) and from the reflection profile mc_13 (Fig. 4) in the Gonfolite Gr. are drawn (profile traces in Fig. 3); J and L2 indicate crustal shear zones and the red boxes represent the dip panel used for deriving the deep geometry of the Marzio Fault (see text for details). Fault codes: AT: Arosio thrust; CL: Canavese Line; GB: Gonfolite Backthrust; MF: Marzio Fault, ML: Maggiore Line, PL: Pogallo Line; VT and VTb: Villafortuna-Trecate Thrust and backthrust respectively. J and L2 are two crustal seismic reflectors interpreted as shear zones (see text for details)
