Highlighting how crustal shortening is accommodated in space and time in fold-thrust belts is a major issue for understanding the long-term tectonic evolution of orogenic systems. In this study, we combine surface and subsurface data to build a 150 km-long sequentially restored balanced cross-section across two superimposed foreland fold-thrust...

Reconstruction of eroded mountain belt structures is crucial to produce valid pre-contractional palinspastic restorations and quantify the amount of shortening. In this study, we combine Raman Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Material (RSCM) thermometry and cross-section balancing technique to propose a reconstruction of the thermal and...
