Caption | Title Register of the original file: [o.T.]. Onset age of thinning and fining-upward turbidite cycles in rift basins of the Eastern Alps of Switzerland based on ammonite stratigraphy. The oldest turbidite sequence is found in the east (Ortler unit). Note that during 1st phase of rifting the cycles become progressively younger in westward direction and that the 2nd phase of rifting (Toarcian) mainly affected younger in westward direction and that the 2nd phase of mainly affected the western part of the margin. This stratigraphic succession of rift basin fills indicates an east to west propagation of the rift faults. (After Eberli 1988b). b) Cross-section of the continental margin in the Eastern Alps of Switzerland based on the stratigraphic succession of the calcareous turbidite sequences and structural analysis of fault orientation (Froitzheim 1988). The progressive fragmentation of the margin from proximal (east) to distal (west) probably is a result of the westward propagation of an underlying, eastward-dipping, low-angle detachment fault, while a younger, westward-dipping, low-angle fault is respobsible for extension during the 2nd phase of rifting. |
