Thin- versus thick- sckinned ddeformation f i • Broken foreland basins (Sierras Pampeanas and Laramide style) develop associated with thick-skinned basement uplift where crystalline basement rocks translate along high angle reverse faults faults.
Preconditions to form a continuous fforeland l d bbasin i • The existance of topographic highs and horizontal shortening; • The pre pre-existance existance of a thick pile of layered strata.
