Structure of the Tectonic Front of the Western Alps: Control of Fluid Pressure and Halite Occurrence on the Decollement Processes

“…10.1029/2020TC006591 11 of 21 μb of halite is classically considered to be very low and wedges above thick salt decollement are considered to have α + β values of about 1° (Dahlen, 1990;Davis et al, 1983). This is the case for instance of the Angolan gravity system (Hudec & Jackson, 2004), of the Nova Scotia gravity system (Deptuck et al, 2009), or else the Gulf of Mexico gravity system (Peel et al, 1995;Trudgill et al, 1999). Similar angle is observed in the Zagros FTB which is also detached above thick salt layers (Vergés et al, 2011).…”
