Fig. 15

Comparison of structures from the wider Swiss Alpine Foreland with analogue model results. a Simplified map and section view of the Sankt Gallen Fault Zone (normal dip-slip fault, reactivated as a sinistral strike-slip fault), compared to b our sand-only pure normal dip-slip model A1. Redrawn after Diehl et al. (2017), based on data from Heuberger et al. (2016). c Simplified map and section view of the Burgdorf-Wynigen Fault Zone (sinistral strike-slip kinematics), compared to d our sand-only pure strike-slip model C3. *The original dextral-strike-slip model is mirrored to reflect the natural situation. Redrawn after Mock and Herwegh (2017). BD Burgdorf. PCT Permo-Carboniferous Trough, BMe Base Mesozoic, TMe Top Mesozoic. Locations of the St Gallen Fault Zone and the Burgdorf-Wynigen Fault Zone are indicated in Fig. 1b
