p.22: Towards the southeast, the Neuhausen Fault intersects the WSW– ENE trending Baden-Irchel-Herdern Lineament (Naef et al. 1995, Malz et al. 2016; see § 3.2). It is thus presumed that this intersection results in an accordingly trending bend in the graben system, as similarly observed further to the north according to the interpretation of 3D seismic data (Birkhäuser et al. 2001). However, the precise continuation of the graben bounding fault system towards the southeast remains unclear.
