Seismicity of well localized events and corresponding focal mechanisms (see Fig. 9) projected onto the southern Velebit cross-section (modified after Balling et al., 2021b) within a corridor of ± 20 km. The section trace is displayed in Fig. 9. The projected seismicity shows poor correlation with structures modelled in the balanced cross-section. All recorded events are exclusively recorded within the southern Velebit foreland. The hinterland (Bruvno) is aseismic. The focal mechanism solutions (FMS) are projected into the section plane, the colours correspond to the focal mechanisms in map view (Fig. 9). The FMS show that the southern Velebit foreland is characterized by deep (8–18 km) thrusting, suggesting an active outward propagation of basement thrusts at the base of the Velebit-Bruvno triangle zone towards SW
