Salt morphologies and crustal segmentation relationship : new insights from the Western Mediterranean Sea

Salt tectonics at salt-bearing margins is often interpreted as the combination of gravity spreading and gravity gliding, mainly driven by differential sedimentary loading and margin tilting, respectively. Nevertheless, in the Western Mediterranean Sea, the classical salt-tectonic models are incohere...
