“…6). Contrary to Eisenlohr (1974a), we propose a progressive eastward decrease of the displacement of the Sainte-Baume/Loube thrust which is consistent with geological mapping and eastward disappearance of the frontal thrust trace (Bathiard and Lambert, 1968;Aubouin et al, 1976; Fig. 1).…”

The Provence Chain incorporated preexisting halokinetic and basement features which have played a key role in the structural evolution of the thrust systems. Field structural data, previously published geological maps and exploration well data have been used to interpret a new ~80 km-long balanced and restored cross section across the eastern Provence fold-thrust Diapiric structures were mainly eroded during and after the Pyrenean-Provence compression then reactivated during Oligocene extension and Miocene to present-day Alpine compression. Cross section balancing shows a total horizontal shortening of 28.5 km related to the Pyrenean-Provence and Alpine compressions. The eastern Provence fold-thrust belt integrates preexisting halokinetic folding which can be misinterpreted as resulting to compression. This suggests that a significant amount of folding in fold-thrust belts can results from an early halokinetic fold system developed during the pre-contractional passive margin evolution.

“…The Loube thrust corresponds to the eastern continuation of the Sainte-Baume thrust (Mennessier, 1959b;Thiele, 1972;Eisenlohr, 1974a,b;Aubouin et al, 1976;Fig. 2).…”
