罗杰斯(C.J Rogers，1963)在解释阿帕拉契亚前陆变形时，提出薄皮构造概念。所谓薄皮构造是指前陆沉积盖层在主滑脱面上即盖层与基底之间的不整合面上滑脱变形，形成一套褶皱逆冲断裂构造，而基底没有卷入变形。基底变形与盖层变形成显著不协调关系。
喀拉玉尔滚右旋走滑断层为薄皮构造，调节了却勒地区东、西段前缘的变形差异。
Karayulgun dextral strike-slip fault, which is a thin-skinned structure, adjusted the deformation difference located at frontal range of Quele area.
鄂皖边界大别南缘主俯冲边界断层的存在以及扬子板块前陆盆地盖层大型薄皮构造，揭示扬子板块向大别造山带之下的A型俯冲。
The main A-type subduction fault and large scale thin-skinned tectonics clearly reveal that the Yangtze Plate subsides towards Dabie orogenic belt.
