“…However, others invoke a hybrid thin‐ and thick‐skinned style of shortening (Allen et al, 2013; Leturmy et al, 2010; Mouthereau et al, 2006; Mouthereau, Lacombe, et al, 2007; Mouthereau, Tensi, et al, 2007; Oveisi et al, 2009; Sherkati et al, 2006), involving either in‐sequence (Saura et al, 2015; Vergés, Goodarzi, et al, 2011) or out‐of‐sequence deformation (Blanc et al, 2003; Molinaro, Leturmy, et al, 2005). In the Kurdistan region of Iraq, regional cross sections of the fold‐thrust belt and adjacent foreland variably show thin‐skinned (Hinsch & Bretis, 2015) or hybrid thin‐ and thick‐skinned geometries (de Vera et al, 2009; Le Garzic et al, 2019; Tozer et al, 2019; Zebari et al, 2020). Whereas others solely focused on the uppermost sedimentary cover with no interpretation of structures below Jurassic strata (e.g., Frehner et al, 2012; Reif et al, 2011).…”
