Pre-existing salt structures and the folding of the Zagros Mountains

Four-dimensional analogue X-ray tomography imagery is used to investigate the role played by pre-existing salt structures during compressive deformation. Initially linear salt structures evolve towards more axisymmetric diapirs. Depending on the diapir geometry and on its thickness relative to the s...
