The concept of bed-duplication folding, a process of folding by stacking of duplicate beds above a thrust ramp, was introduced by John L. Rich in 1934, and such folding has been studied mechanically and geometrically during the last few years. This paper introduces two kinematical models to bridge
Outcrop and analogue modelling studies indicate that upward widening zones of distributed deformation, often monoclinal folds, form above blind normal faults and are particularly common features at the depositional surface during the early stages of rifting. With increasing displacement (strain), su
