p.72: In Liechtenstein, the small Triesenberg Slice Complex (formerly “Liechtenstein Flysch”) probably represents the transition zone between the Üntschen Nappe to the northeast and the more southerly Prättigau Flysch, which belongs to the Tomül Nappe (see next §) and is exposed in the Prättigau Half-Window. This slice complex is located at the base of the Austroalpine units, the Arosa Nappe or the Falknis Nappe. It comprises two slices (Allemann 2002), the northern one composed of the Vaduz Flysch (Late Cretaceous), more or less equivalent to that of the Oberstdorf Nappe, and the southern one of the Triesen Flysch (Late Cretaceous to Paleogene), which has an affinity with the Prättigau Flysch.
