Detail of a dip attribute map for the southern Sinu accretionary prism showing folding converging southwards, closing up the mini-basins. Note the incisional channel systems and significant mass wasting from the anticline limbs. A location map for associated "dog-leg" seismic profiles is available here as an interpretation.
