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.

its controls : examples from the Alpine foreland and the French Alps.

Hope this helps,
