Abstract
⺠We present a model for the structural architecture for the Marathon fold and thrust belt. ⺠New subsurface data is incorporated with surface exposures. ⺠A bed-parallel detachment in the lower Tesnus Formation separates structural lithic units. ⺠A perched décollement in the foreland was later reactivated as a roof thrust to duplex systems. ⺠The structural model we present may be applicable to much of the Ouachita orogenic system.
