Abstract
The Jurassic clay-rich aquitard sequence underlying the Swiss Molasse Basin is locally penetrated by unusually frequent veins consisting of calcite ± celestite, in particular in the Schlattingen-1 and Oftringen drill cores. The veins are linked to extensional brittle structures, with shear senses ranging between dip-slip and strike-slip. Deformation triggered transient and localised events of fluid flow within the aquitard followed by sealing of...
