摘要:Cross sections of glaciotectonic complexes are exposed incoastal cliffs in Denmark, which allow structural studies ofthe architecture of thin-skinned thrust-fault deformation(Pedersen 2014). However, the basal part of the thrust-faultcomplex is never exposed, because it is located 50 to 100 mbelow sea level. It is in the basal part the most importantstructure – the décollement zone – of the complex is found.Te décollement zone constitutes the more or less horizontalsurface that separates undeformed bedrock from the displaced thrust-sheet units along the décollement level. Oneof the most famous exposures of glaciotectonic deformationsin Denmark is the Møns Klint Glaciotectonic Complex. Testructures above sea level are well documented, whereas thestructures below sea level down to the décollement level arepoorly known. Modelling of deep structures was carried outby Pedersen (2000) but still needs documentation.
