The detailed field investigation in the Neuch\u00e2tel Jura was combined with kinematic forward modelling to propose a new, innovative solution to the development of the High Range of the Jura.&nbsp;The proposed model implies secondary detachments in the Opalinus Clay and the Cretaceous layers leading to&nbsp;repetitions in the Mesozoic cover rocks over large&nbsp; distances.&nbsp;This in turn explains the high topographic position of exposed&nbsp;sediments. The proposed solution is an alternative to models showing overthickening of Triassic evaporites associated with&nbsp;a single detachment level. Along the investigated profile, the Jura Mountains accommodate a shortening of 8.5 km. The&nbsp;kinematic forward model suggests an oscillating sequence of thrusting, rather than a simple, in sequence, forward propagation&nbsp;succession of thrusts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1616\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1616\" style=\"width: 1109px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1616\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.unifr.ch\/tectonics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rime-Jura-3D.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.unifr.ch\/tectonics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rime-Jura-3D.jpg 1109w, https:\/\/blog.unifr.ch\/tectonics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rime-Jura-3D-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.unifr.ch\/tectonics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rime-Jura-3D-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.unifr.ch\/tectonics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rime-Jura-3D-1024x776.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1109px) 100vw, 1109px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3D reconstruction of the Travers-Morteau section in the Central Jura<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ref.&nbsp;Tectonics of the Neuch\u00e2tel Jura Mountains: insights from mapping<br \/>\nand forward modelling Swiss Journal of Geosciences<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00015-019-00349-y?wt_mc=Internal.Event.1.SEM.ArticleAuthorAssignedToIssue&amp;utm_source=ArticleAuthorAssignedToIssue&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=AA_en_06082018&amp;ArticleAuthorAssignedToIssue_20191123\">doi.org\/10.1007\/s00015-019-00349-y<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Master work of Valentin Rime has been published together with coauthors&nbsp;Anna Sommaruga,&nbsp;&nbsp;Marc Schori, and&nbsp;Jon Mosar in the Swiss Journal of Geosciences.
