p.59: Highly deformed rocks of the polycyclic metamorphic basement (mylonites and cataclasites) dominate the western segment of the Clavaniev Zone, while in the region of Disentis and between Sumvitg and Trun also Mesozoic metasedimentary rocks are entrained in this deformation zone. This explains why this portion of the Clavaniev Zone was called “Disentiser Mulde” (NIGGLI 1944).
