Fig. 3

Schematic diagram showing tectonic stacks of accretionary units in different parts of the Franciscan Complex. This shows the variability of the Franciscan accreted stack at different locations keyed to transects shown on Fig. 2. Units accreted at different times are separated by non-accretionary megathrust contacts shown in bold red (solid or dashed). Internal imbrication of each accreted unit is not depicted but the total structural thickness is estimated. The age of the pelagic sections of oceanic sections associated with accreted units is given in green but this information is not available for all units. The age of the oldest pelagic rocks in each unit approximates the age of the igneous oceanic crust. Accretion ages are also given based on different types of data, color coded with acronyms, updated from Wakabayashi (2015)
