DE: Travertin ist eine feste, dichte und oft deutlich geschichtete (oder gebänderte) Kalktuff-Varietät,  die sich gut für das Schleifen zu Zierzwecken eignet.

FR: Le travertin est une variété de tuf calcaire dure, compacte et souvent clairement stratifiée (ou rubanée), se prêtant ainsi bien au polissage à des fins ornementales.

English: Dranses Nappe

The Dranses Nappe is an Upper Penninic tectonic unit of the Prealps. It is constituted by a basal shaly complex followed by a thick succession of calcareous flysch rich in trace fossils (Nereites isp. [formerly Helminthoidea isp.]) and occasional conglomerate beds. The age of this series is Late Cretaceous.

Deutsch: Sardona-Decke
Français: Nappe du Sardona
Italiano: Falda del Sardona
English: Sardona Nappe

The Sardona Nappe is a Lower Helvetic tectonic nappe emplaced in an early phase onto the future Helvetic domain, subsequently truncated by the Glarus Thrust and simultaneously cut by out-of-sequence thrusts. It is composed mainly of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene sediments of Ultrahelvetic affinity, cropping out in the area between Linthal and Sargans.

Deutsch: Penninikum

English: Penninic

The Penninic domain comprises all tectonic units situated between the Helvetic or the Lepontic domains and the Austroalpine or the Salassic domains. It also includes units that were transported further north on the Helvetic and which are currently found as klippen on top or in front of this domain (e.g. Prealps).

English: Ötztal Nappe Complex

The Ötztal Nappe Complex is an Upper Austroalpine tectonic unit spanning the Austria-Italy border southwest of Innsbruck. In Switzerland, only two lithologically and tectonically distinct units occur: the main Ötztal Nappe (polymetamorphic paragneisses with minor orthogneisses and amphibolites) and the smaller, overlying Matsch Nappe (characteristic polymetamorphic association of interlayered metapelites, amphibolites and pegmatites).

The Zone Submédiane is a mélange zone that is generally found at the base of the Préalpes Médianes Nappe and morphologically determines a succession of mountain passes and valleys. It contains slivers of varying composition, size and origin (from the Ultrahelvetic to the Subbriançonnais realms) within a matrix comprising evaporites or «wildflysch».

English: Adula Nappe

The Adula Nappe is a tectonic unit of the Eastern Lepontic (Ticino Culmination). It consists of a Paleozoic crystalline basement (orthogneisses, paragneisses and lenses of mafic and ultramafic rock) which experienced high-pressure Alpine metamorphism under eclogite-facies conditions. A reduced series of Mesozoic sediments is locally preserved in the cores of the synclines.
