Abstract

Structural data were collected on 1100 cone sheets and dykes with the aim of reconstructing the geometry of the complex, recognizing emplacement phases, and contributing to understanding this classical area and the evolution of cone sheets in general. Mean sheet dip angles are 40°, 43°, 47° and 50° in four sections transecting the complex. Sheet thickness ranges from a few centimetres to 5 m, with a dominant thickness of
