A36 GFF118 Jubilee Issue (1996) the Jämtland nappes of the Lower Allochthon farther S and an extremely narrow margin of the Lower Allochthon towards N. This zone is remarkable for its structures related to the lateral terminations of horses and duplexes. Such features comprise lateral ramps but also out-of-sequence thrusts and EW-trending folds, which can be explained by geometric complexities arising from the fact that the lateral ramps which bound the horses are not exactly parallel with the general tectonic transport direction.Horses are particularly well developed within the mechanically competent, clastic sedimentary sequences in the lower part of the stratigraphy (Risbäck and Sjoutälven Groups), where thin, incompetent horizons (eg Vendian tillites, Cambrian black shales) or the basement-cover interface provide detachment horizons. Accordingly, thicknesses of horses are directly related to the thickness of lithologic units. This fact, once it was documented by Gayer & Greiling (1989) and Zachrisson & Greiling (1993), was a useful working hypothesis for the field-mapping. The location of thrusts and thicknesses of thrust units could be estimated and appropriate locations for exposed thrusts were more easy to find. In contrast, the less competent, upper part of the sequence (mid-Cambrian to Ordovician shales and greywackes) is deformed in a different style, with transitions from thrusts and/or minor imbricates into (tip-) folds. Sometimes crystalline basement slices document that thrusts also cut into the basement. Whereas in the western part of the area these basement slices are often primarily overlain by Risbäck Group arkoses, arkoses wedge out towards the east, where basement slices are primarily overlain by Sjoutälven Group quartzites or even mid-Cambrian black shales. However, towards north at the northern margin of Fig. 2: 8, new occurrences of Risbäck Group arkoses have been mapped. These observations point to the fact that the structural pattern is oblique to both the pre-existing structures of the passive margin and to the present (erosional) Caledonian margin.
