Some basic concepts
Hanging-wall
Footwall
Fault offsets - the jargon
throw
displacement
heave
Stratigraphy repeated (Urgonian on Urgonian)
Piggy-back sequence
Duplex will develop in footwall by
progressive collapse of ramp
next slip surface
displaces
and so it continues...
Result..
A well-ordered geometry
