p.61: In the area described here [i.e. Western Switzerland], the Lower Penninic is only represented by the Sion-Courmayeur Nappe, which extends along the entire front of the Penninic domain. As described in the introduction to Chapter 6, the Lower Penninic units were formed in the subduction zone below the Middle Penninic units.
