    Kurzbeschreibung

    The Lepontic tectonic domain is situated between the Helvetic and Penninic units in the internal part of the Central Alps. It is characterized by the presence of a structural and metamorphic dome (Lepontine Dome). Most of these units are derived from the most distal part of the thinned European margin.
