Fig. 12 

a tectonic map with kinematic indicators showing the Jura nappes. The different coloured domains, NW of the Vuache Fault System in red, are the 7 tectonic nappes separated by the main thrusts rooting in the main décollement. Major displacement or transport directions (black arrows) are defined as being perpendicular to the fold and thrust orientations and depending on the sense of the thrust faults. The small white scheme on the map shows the regional kinematics of the Western Internal Jura. b The simplified final cross-section shows the Jura nappes in section view with their corresponding shortenings. Based on our 2D kinematic forward model, these values lead to a total shortening value of 23,6 km
