In cases where the uplift rate exceeds the sedimentation rate, growth strata typically thin toward, and onlap, the structural high. Growth strata are generally not present above the fold crest, but are folded in one or more limbs of the structure. In this seismic section, growth strata onlap the backlimb and forelimb of a fault-related fold. The growth strata are overlain by post-tectonic strata, which are described later in this section.
