Deutsch: Mirutta-Schuppen Français: Écailles de Mirutta Italiano: Scaglie di Mirutta English: Mirutta Slices
The Mirutta Slices are post-nappe tectonic units (due to a late out-of-sequence thrusting) of the parautochthonous cover of the northeastern end of the Aar Massif.
Deutsch: Koralpe-Wölz-Deckenkomplex Français: Complexe de nappe de la Koralpe-Wölz Italiano: Complesso di falde della Koralpe-Wölz English: Koralpe-Wölz Nappe Complex
The Koralpe-Wölz Nappe Complex is a high-pressure tectonic unit situated at the level of the Schlinig Thrust.
Koralpe-Wölz Nappe Complex (TK500 / Gouffon et al. 2024)
The Upper Orobic Nappe is the uppermost and oldest thin-skinned thrust sheets of the eastern South Alpine domain. It consists of an around 5 to 7 km thick basement sheet, arranged in a series of en-échelon anticlines. The thrusts associated with the Upper Orobic Nappe ramped into the sedimentary cover, creating several duplexes that occur in a belt of klippes. The distribution of these erosional remnants reflects the later deformation by the basement ramps of the underlying younger local thrust sheets and imbricates (Lower Orobic Imbricates).
Deutsch: Überschiebungsgürtel von Mailand Français: Ceinture de chevauchement de Milan Italiano: Milano Belt English: Milan Belt
The Milan Belt represents the southernmost (i.e. most external) and lowest thin-skinned thrust sheets of the eastern South Alpine domain west of Lago di Garda. Its basement ramps are hidden below the Po Plain like most of the deformed sedimentary cover. The Milan Belt consists of thrust imbricates, locally inverting Mesozoic high-angle faults, developed as a frontal accretion of the western South Alpine domain during the Miocene.

Deutsch: Corvatsch-Schuppe Français: Écaille du Corvatsch Italiano: Scaglia del Corvatsch English: Corvatsch Slice
The Corvatsch Slice, located southeast of the Engadine Fault, can be seen as the equivalent of the Err Nappe. It is predominantly made up of intensely deformed pre-Mesozoic basement. Its Mesozoic cover is only rarely preserved just below the overlying Bernina Nappe (e.g., at Fuorcla Surlej).
Deutsch: Schwarzwald-Massiv Français: Massif de la Forêt Noire Italiano: Massiccio dello Schwarzwald English: Schwarzwald Massif
The Schwarzwald Massif exposes the basement of the South German Platform. It consists mainly of metamorphic and plutonic rocks, with some remnants of Late Paleozoic sediments. It is separated from the Upper Rhine Graben by a major normal fault (Schwarzwald Fault).
Deutsch: Sublage-Decke Français: Nappe du Sublage Italiano: Falda del Sublage English: Sublage Nappe
The Sublage Nappe is an Upper Helvetic tectonic nappe in the Western Swiss Alps. It is the highest unit of the Wildhorn Nappe Complex and forms the main body of the complex. To the southwest it overlies the Mont Gond Nappe, whereas it overlies the thin Jägerchrüz Nappe north of Sierre and the Gellihorn Nappe further northeast.
