English: Lower Orobic Imbricates

The Lower Orobic Imbricates encompasses units of the median part of the thin-skinned thrust sheets of the eastern South Alpine domain. The en-échelon arrangement of its ramp anticlines is similar to that of the overlying Upper Orobic Nappe with a more diffuse deformation in the sedimentary cover. A large part of the Bergamasc Alps and of the Giudicarie region belongs to this unit.

Within the Upper Penninic Malenco-Forno-Lizun Nappe, the Lizun unit is situated northwest of the Engadine Fault and is sinistrally offset from the Forno unit. It exposes rocks of oceanic origin similar to those of this latter unit (i.e. metabasalts and metagabbros of oceanic origin covered by metasedimentary rocks of Jurassic to Early Cretaceous age).
