Deutsch: Garzott-Schuppen Français: Écailles de Garzott Italiano: Scaglie di Garzott English: Garzott Slices
The Garzott Slices are considered as a northern extension of the Soja Nappe in the core of the Lunschania Antiform, where they are surrounded by the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe. Due to this structural position, Galster et al. (2012) attached the Garzott Slices to the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe, but the facies analogies bring them closer to the Soja Nappe (Vögeli et al. 2013).
Deutsch: Roisan–Cignana-Scherzone Français: Zone de cisaillement de Roisan–Cignana Italiano: Zona di taglio Roisan–Cignana English: Roisan–Cignana Shear Zone
The Roisan-Cignana Shear Zone consists of slices of Mesozoic sediments and crystalline basement in a mylonitic matrix derived from the adjacent Dent Blanche Nappe (Arolla Unit) and of the Mont Mary Nappe (Lower and Upper units). The high-pressure mineral assemblages along the contact between these tectonic slices indicates that their emplacement occurred in an early deformation stage, before or during the subduction.

Deutsch: Tavrü-Schuppe Français: Écaille du Tavrü Italiano: Scaglia del Tavrü English: Tavrü Slice
Within the S-charl-Sesvenna Nappe, theTavrü Slice (formerly known as “S-charl-Oberbau”) consists entirely of a Norian to Cretaceous succession, volumetrically dominated by an over 2 km thick Hauptdolomit. It is completely detached from the Carnian Raibl Group. This slice, separated from the tectonically higher Ötztal Nappe by the Schlinig Thrust, suffered substantial internal extension in a domino-style.
The Lower Orobic Imbricates encompasses units of the median part of the thin-skinned thrust sheets of the eastern South Alpine domain. The en-échelon arrangement of its ramp anticlines is similar to that of the overlying Upper Orobic Nappe with a more diffuse deformation in the sedimentary cover. A large part of the Bergamasc Alps and of the Giudicarie region belongs to this unit.

Deutsch: Säntis-Decke Français: Nappe du Säntis Italiano: Falda del Säntis English: Säntis Nappe
The Säntis Nappe is an Upper Helvetic tectonic nappe of the Eastern Swiss Alps, extending from the Linth Valley in the west to the Rhine Valley in the east (including the Fläscher Berg east of Sargans). It overlies the Glarus Nappe Complex north of the Walensee and Seeztal, forming a broad synform, in the core of which are preserved klippen consisting of Upper Helvetic mélanges, as well as Lower and Middle Penninic units. The Säntis Nappe is composed of Cretaceous and rare Paleogene sediments. Its internal structure is characterized by fold trains and fold-parallel thrust faults, with an important N–S oriented fault between Sax and Appenzell (Sax-Schwende Fault) that can be shown to have been active during the nappe internal deformation.
Deutsch: Grosina-Decke Français: Nappe de la Grosina Italiano: Falda della Grosina English: Grosina Nappe
The Grosina Nappe forms a series of tectonic klippes on the southwestern parts of the Campo Nappe along a distinct mylonitic zone associated with top-NW to top-N senses of shear of Cretaceous age that possibly reworked a Jurassic décollement zone. The amphibolite-facies Variscan basement of the Grosina Nappe is in parts similar to that of the underlying Campo Nappe. However, the basement of the Grosina Nappe differs in that orthogneisses are much more frequent, and, additionally, in that there is often a pervasive greenschist-facies metamorphic overprint of the older high-grade fabrics. The root zone of the Grosina Nappe most probably occurs at the southern margin of the Campo Nappe Complex and in the immediate footwall of the tectonically higher Tonale Nappe.

The Mesozoic is the middle geochronologic era of the Phanerozoic eon, starting with the Induan age (at the transition from the Paleozoic era) and ending with the Maastrichtian age (at the transition to the Cenozoic period). It is subdivided in three periods (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous).
Mesozoik, Ère secondaire, Erdmittelalter, Mittelalter, Secondario, ère des Reptiles, ère des Dinosaures, Zeitalter der Reptilien, Zeitalter der Dinosaurier, Zeit der Tethys
The Pleistocene is the first geochronologic epoch of the Quaternary, starting with the Gelasian age (at the transition from the Pliocene epoch) and ending with an unnamed age at the transition to the Holocene epoch. It is subdivided in three subepochs (Early, Middle and Late Pleistocene).
