| Within the Caledonian Moine nappe of NW Scotland there are a number of basement inliers, the largest of which is the Glenelg-Attadale Inlier. |
|
| Stratigraphic relationships show that the Mata nappe follows a recumbent fold structure characterized by a normal and an inverted fold limb. |
|
| The Selcuk nappe contains blocks of metagabbro in a matrix of serpentinite and garnet-mica schist. |
|
| Along the eastern margin of the nappe folds verge to the east and the cleavage fans until it dips westward. |
|
| Moine rocks within the Moine nappe are mainly unmigmatized psammites which locally may preserve sedimentary structures. |
|
| In the Messaria nappe, kyanite and chloritoid in weakly sheared rocks have cracks that are filled with chlorite and quartz. |
|
| In general, basement rocks are exposed in the footwall block, whereas Caledonian nappe units are preserved in the hanging wall. |
|
| A postmortem survey on MED-1 well was completed and enabled to direct exploration works towards gas targets, at the level of post nappe Tertiary. |
|
| Overall the temporal progradation of nappe emplacement and high-pressure metamorphism towards the south mimics the southward retreat of the Hellenic subduction zone. |
|
| Evidence of contact metamorphism of the wall-rock includes andalusite porphyroblasts enclosed in a fabric related to Caledonian nappe emplacement. |
|
| The subhorizontal or gently northwest-dipping stratification of the nappe stack would rotate during the shearing to form the monoclinal structure. |
|
| The main-phase foliation is subparallel to the nappe contact of the Gran Paradiso massif with the overlying Zermatt-Saas zone and defines a broad regional dome structure. |
|
| The results may help to reconstruct the orogenic nappe structure that prevailed in the area before the region was reworked by extensional tectonics. |
|
| The first two observed phases D2 and D3 form isoclinal folds and are related to overthrusting movements towards the NW as part of the emplacement of the Simano nappe. |
|
| The bottom nappe structure is of continental European origin, above which are stacked marine sediment nappes, topped off by nappes derived from the African plate. |
|
| DuoCash is founded by Internet industry veterans Victor Nappe, Steve Quirk, and Bruce Fancher. |
|
| The attempted subduction of those margins resulted in the emplacement of vast portions of the Neo-Tethyan ocean floor on top of those margins in the form of giant ophiolite sheets, such as the Semail Nappe in Oman. |
