The temporal and kinematic constraints on the early Alpine orogen: insights from Rb–Sr geochronology and geological mapping of the Avers nappe (Eastern Swiss-Alps)

Abstract Understanding temporal shifts of thrust transport direction and the interplay between thrusting and normal faulting during mountain building is important for better understanding orogeny. Current tectonic models of the Alps envisage Cretaceous E–W directed thrusting and subsequent extension...
