Therefore, switch thin-skinned thick-skinned thrusting occurred as Platform carbonates—and thick continental lithosphere—were during latest shortening stages. Apatite fission track data, showing cooling ages ranging between 9.2 ± 1.0 1.5 0.8 Ma, indicate marks these late tectonic stages, probably initiating buttressing wedge against western margin Platform. Pliocene-Pleistocene advancing exceeds total amount slip that, based on cross-section balancing restoration, could be transferred base allochthon structures. suggests emplacement above portion carbonates was followed gravitational readjustments within wedge, coeval—and partly associated with—thick-skinned at depth. related denudation processes are interpreted have played primary role exhumation.
