See the sandbox models of stepping strike-slip faults in either transtension
or transpression in:

fault systems: applications to NW Europe. In: Fleet & Boldy (eds) Petroleum
Geology of Northwest Europe: Proceedings of the 5th Conference, 215-225.
Published by the Geological Society, London.
I know several examples on seismic sections that look lawfully like some of
the cross-sections produced by these sand-box models.
