The Adula nappe: stratigraphy, structure and kinematics of an exhumed high-pressure nappe. Thèse de doctorat, Université de Lausanne, 153 p.
p.34: The Garenstock Augengneiss (Fig. 9a) is an Ordovician (Chapter 3.4) granitoid that is characterised by a prominent augen texture of K-feldspar in a mica-rich matrix occurs in the northern part of the Adula nappe. The augen texture is not present everywhere, and a transition to an augen-free gneiss can be observed locally. The gneiss composition is quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, white mica, biotite, garnet, epidote, zircon, apatite, and ilmenite. Metric to decimetric mafic boudins and lenses (Garenstock mafic rocks, Fig. 9b) are locally abundant within the augengneiss (Fig. 9b). Eclogite relicts are sometimes present in these boudins. A lithologic description of the Garenstock Augengneiss can be found in Kopp (in Jenny et al. 1923) and Egli (1966).
