p.25: Further north, seismic reflection data also reveal compressional structures including the Siglistorf Anticline, that are associated with a broad monocline of the Mesozoic sequence. They are considered here to be related to the basal detachment of the Jura thrust belt (Naef et al. 1995, Nagra 2014, Madritsch et al. 2024) and represent the northern boundary of the External Folded Jura against the autochthonous South German Platform. Notably, these seismic structures could alternatively be interpreted to root in the basement (Malz et al. 2016) as similarly proposed for the northernmost part of the aforementioned Ferrette region (Ustaszewski & Schmid 2007).
