“…Baby et al (1995) document 6.5-7.0 km of synorogenic basin fill in the Alto Beni syncline, a piggyback basin in the Sub-Andean zone of northern and central Bolivia. Louterbach et al (2018) also showed 5-7 km of syntectonic sediments in the Beni Basin of the northern Bolivia sub-Andean thrust belt. Webb (2013) and DeCelles et al ( 1998) showed 4-6 km of syntectonic sediment in the Siwalik Formation in the Himalayan foreland, ahead of the Sub-Himalayan thrust zone, while Le Garzic et al (2019) showed ~3.5 km of syntectonic sediments in a large syncline in the northwestern Zagros foldthrust belt in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, 75 km forelandward of the last major emergent thrust fault (High Zagros fault) in an area of a blind duplex.…”

Fluid inclusion microthermometry of synkinematic veins is used to estimate the maximum syntectonic load that was deposited on the wedge top in the central Appalachians (northeastern United States) during the Alleghanian orogeny. The restored loads indicate two major depocenters during the Alleghanian orogeny: one above Broadtop synclinorium, with as much as 7 km of Pennsylvanian–Permian load probably sourced by the erosion of rocks uplifted by the growing Blue Ridge massif and emplacement of the North Mountain thrust sheet; the other above the Anthracite belt, with as much as 16 km of syntectonic load likely sourced by the erosion of rocks uplifted by the growing Reading Prong massif. The loads were generally <3 km in the intervening Juniata culmination. In areas of high load, the structural architecture of the basin is that of widely spaced thrusts (~17–22 km) with large leading-edge anticlines in the Cambrian–Ordovician lithotectonic unit, while in areas of low load, thrusts are more closely spaced (~15 km) and deformed into an imbricate stack. The relationship between observed syntectonic loads, thrust spacing, and structural style reflect modeled relationships.
