p.40: [...] Three slices of Late Jurassic limestone (Quinten Formation) are present at [the base of the Drusberg Nappe]; one is located in the Muotatal and underlies the Palfris Formation (Wissenwand Slice, Hantke et al. 2013), the other two crop out between the Engelberg Valley and the Vierwaldstättersee, intercalated into the Palfris Formation (Maisander Slices, Menkveld 1995); the latter are considered part of the Axen Nappe.
