p.92: The Triassic cover of the Silvretta Nappe is preserved in two SW– NE striking synclines located at the western edge of the Silvretta Nappe, known as the Landwasser and Ducan synclines (Froitzheim et al. 1994). They formed during top-NW thrusting in the Cretaceous, and then were overprinted by normal faulting still in the latest Cretaceous. This was followed by top-N thrusting of the entire Silvretta Nappe over the Penninic units during Cenozoic times.
