The Glarus thrust (German: Glarner Überschiebung) is a major thrust fault in the Alps of eastern Switzerland. Along the thrust the Helvetic nappes were thrust more than 100 km to the north …

A rock formation known as the Glarus Overthrust reveals ancient rocks overlying much younger rocks. The Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus on NASA’s Landsat 7 satellite captured this …

The Glarus Thrust, in the Alps of eastern Switzerland, like the thrust seen at Ben Arnaboll in Scotland, is among the world’s most famous thrust faults – low angle reverse faults in which …

Apr 28, 2014 · The Glarus overthrust, marked by the thin calc-mylonite known as the “Lochseitenkalk”, ranks among the world’s most famous examples of a thrust plane.

Knife-sharp and yellow: The seldom line along the rock face around the Piz Sardona marks the Glarus overthrust - a phenomenon of world interest. Here, older rock strata have edged their …

We propose a situation in which the Glarus thrust evolved northward across the boundary between the lithostatic and hydro- static fluid-pressure regimes—the ‘‘impermeable cap.’’.

Mar 30, 2015 · The Glarus fault is an important feature in the geological world because it is shows a very clear example of a thrust fault where the nappe contact is extremely clear and is also …

Glarus overthrust. Here, the Verrucano (Permian) is emplaced onto north Helvetic Flysch of cenozoic-age (Figs. 1, 2). the actual thrust contact between the two rock types is located in a …

Oct 1, 2002 · Thrust-related fluid flow coupled with isotopic exchange between fluid and rock is simulated in a three-dimensional finite-element model of the Glarus nappe, eastern Swiss …

Jan 9, 2008 · Development of slices along the Glarus overthrust, schematically shown in 4 stages. stage 1: the major thrust fault is a ductile fault with contemporaneous deformation in the …
