Permian limestones of the Saraburi Group in Central Thailand, deformed during the Triassic Indosinian orogeny, exhibit detachments formed in response to the following variations in lithology: thin shale beds within a limestone sequence, massive limestone overlaying well-bedded limestone, massive limestone overlying interbedded limestones and shales, within well-bedded limestones, thin shales interbedded with limestones overlying limestones. Where shales are present the decoupling of layers is similar to examples previously described in the literature from outcrop and analogue models. However, more unusually, detachments are also present within limestone units. While detachment folds are typically developed above a basal weak unit (usually salt or shale), in the study area is an example developed entirely within well-bedded limestones. Instead of flow of the weak unit into the core of the fold, room problems in the core of the fold are accommodated by pressure solution parallel to bedding, thrusts, small fault propagation folds, and intense folding. Variations in structural style are largely influenced by the spacing/intensity of bedding, limestone clay content (and the efficiency of pressure solution during deformation), and the presence/absence and thickness of interbedded shales. A ductile detachment zone is developed between well-bedded limestones and overlying massive limestones, the detachment zone separates highly folded sequence dominated by steep dips, from a weakly folded sequence dominated by gentle dips. Pressure solution processes, and variability in pressure solution intensity (related to clay content) play a very strong role in accommodating the difference in deformation styles across the detachment.
