Fig. 12

a Outcrop showing syn-sedimentary faults and associated deformation features. Details of the areas marked by b, c and d are shown in sub-figures (b), (c) and (d), respectively; b Syn-sedimentary fault showing a shifting of laminae (arrows) along the fault plane; c Multiple syn-sedimentary faults (yellow arrows) showing distinct shifts of the laminae. Note the upward flow of material (sand) (red-white arrow) along the fault plane; d Upward and downward bending of laminae (red arrow) due to the combined effect of fault dragging (yellow arrows) and fluid-escape. Note minor contortions (black arrow) in the laminae at the right end of the photograph. Length of the hammer in (a), (c) is 30 cm; length of the pen in (b) is 14 cm
