Introduction

The auxiliary material contains three movie files showing the evolution of selected numerical models 
used in the study of the Perdido Fold Belt, northwestern Gulf of Mexico.

1. Animation_modelR0.mp4: Animation of reference model R0, showing the general evolution of a 
gravity-driven salt-cored deep-water fold belt on a continental margin.

2. Animation_modelRM1.mp4: Animation of regional model RM1, showing the evolution of a propagating 
fold belt and allochtonous salt structures above the distal salt basin.

3. Animation_modelRM2.mp4: Animation of regional model RM2, showing the evolution of a propagating 
fold belt and allochtonous salt structures above the central salt basin.
