p.99: Further east, a second Late Cretaceous normal fault, the SE-dipping Pejo Normal Fault, accommodates top-E extension combined with a sinistral strike-slip component in the present-day map view (Werling 1992, Viola et al. 2003). The amount of displacement across the Pejo Normal Fault seems to be substantial since this fault juxtaposes the Tonale Nappe that lacks Alpine metamorphic overprint with the southernmost Campo Nappe Complex that was at least locally metamorphosed under upper greenschist-facies conditions during the Alpine cycle (Werling 1992).
