The deformation includes continuous and discontinuous salt welding, apparent donwlaps, passive diapirism, distal diapir burial, faulting and diapir subsidence. Please check how you can use our animations before downloading it. It illustrates how a prograding wedge over salt strata may create apparent downlaps and discontinuous salt welds.
Aptian salt forms three low diapirs separated by a long, flat weld.
The subsalt basement is fairly flat. A giant rollover anticline appears to downlap onto the weld. Demercian et al. In contrast, using physical modeling, Szatmari et al. Mohriak et al.
