p.25: The area east of Frick, known as the Bözberg Plateau, is verifiably detached for a few hundreds of meters to the north and is limited by the significant faisceaux-type frontal Mandach thrust (Malz et al. 2020). To the south, it is bordered by another faisceaux-type fold belt, partly hidden by the overthrust Internal Folded Jura, and known by earlier authors as the “Vorfaltenzone” (Diebold et al. 2006).
