That showed palinspatically how the weaker salt absorbed much more shortening than the stronger sediments encasing it. Palinspastic restorations have helped inference of geologic and hydrocarbon-migration history in salt provinces. However, salt dissolution and salt flow in and out of the section plane make it difficult to determine the shape of salt bodies before deformation, which hampers accurate restorations.
