| Local structural complexities arise from the 1/ the irregular shape of the thrust surface with oblique to lateral ramps linking frontal thrust segments, 2/ from lateral termination of folds and thrust sometime merging into a strike-slip faults, and 3/ the activation of back-thrusts. | ||||||||||||
