Analogue models testing the interaction between a propagating continental rift and inherited crustal fabrics

This dataset presents the results of an experimental series of analogue models performed to investigate the interaction between a propagating continental rift and inherited crustal fabrics. Our experimental series was designed adopting a parametric approach, which consisted in the systematic variation of the orientation of various kinds of brittle discontinuities (e.g., faults, fractures, foliations, etc.). Structures of models have been analysed quantitatively by means of photogrammetric digital elevation model reconstruction and semi-automatic fault pattern quantification. In this dataset, we show the row data and specific elaborations supporting the interpretation of results.This dataset provides supporting information to "Maestrelli, D., Montanari, D., Corti, G., Del Ventisette, C., Moratti, G., & Bonini, M.

The models and the derived data have been elaborated at the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory of CNR-IGG and University of Florence, Italy
