Development of fault–fracture meshes in a compressional thrust regime: a low-angle thrust refracting across more competent (high tensile strength) layers which fail by extension fracturing; b extension fracturing localized in a dilatational stepover (jog) between en echelon thrust faults; c extension fracturing concentrated in an aggregate of high-competence pods in a mélange formation
