A 2-decollement model produced with intense erosion. Final structural style is comparable to interpretations of east/central Himalaya. Growth of an antiformal duplex stack arches overlying thrust sheets to produce a window and klippe. The model also provides a glimpse at the structural setting of the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal, which resulted from rupture of the main Himalaya sole thrust beneath the outer edge of the antiformal stack.
