Dear Jan and others interested in inversion: Two other collections of papers that you might find useful are ' Inversion Tectonics' (Geol. Soc. Lond. Spec. Pub.44 edited by Cooper and Williams, 1989), and the thematic set 'The role of basement reactivation in continental deformation' in J. Geol. Soc. 1997, v.154, issue 1. A few more specific references containing outcrop examples in Europe are: Coward, M. P., Gilcrist, R. & Trudgill, B. 1991. Extensional structures and their tectonic inversion in the W. Alps. In: Roberts, A. M., Yielding, G. & Freeman, B., (Eds.), The Geometry of Normal Faults. Geol. Soc. London Spec. Pub. 56, 93-112. Gillcrist, R., Coward, M. and Mugnier, J-L., 1987. Structrual inversion and its controls : examples from the Alpine foreland and the French Alps. Geodynamica Acta (Paris) 1, 5-34. Tavarnelli, E., 1996. Ancient syn-sedimentary structural control on thrust ramp development: an example from the Northern Apennines, Italy. Terra Nova 8, 65-74. Welbon, A., 1988. The influence of intrabasinal faults on the development of a linked thrust system. Geol. Rund. 77, 11-24. Wibberley, C. A. J., 1997. A mechanical model for the reactivation of compartmental faults in basement thrust sheets, Muzelle region, Western Alps. Journal of the Geological Society of London 154, 123-128.
