p.107: The Strona-Ceneri and Val Colla zones are separated by the Late Variscan Val Colla Fault (Reinhard 1964), a mylonitic fault zone sealed at M. Caslano, west of Lugano, by unconformably overlying Permian volcanics (Graeter 1951). In the northeast, the Val Colla Fault is cut by Alpine faults and interrupted by the Tonale Fault (Reinhard 1964).
