$Shale in fold thrust belts: Triangle zones and passive backthrusts This model uses strong layers and weak microbeads to demonstrate passive roof faulting in a mixed stratigraphy of weak and strong layers. These passive faults involve little displacement, but they would impact cleavage/fracture development in the shale. One model develops the relative backthrust movement through limb rotation; another uses a stratigraphic pinch-out. These models would be improved by weakers detachment layers, but the general style is communicated here.$
