English: Silvretta-Seckau Nappe System

In Switzerland, the Silvretta-Seckau Nappe System of the Austrian nomenclature is represented by the Languard, S-charl-Sesvenna and Silvretta nappes as well as the Campo Nappe Complex (the three latter essentially occupying the same position within the Upper Austroalpine nappe stack).

The Cenoman-Randschuppe consists of an imbricate zone of slivers formed at the active margin between the Adriatic continental plate and the Piemonte-Liguria Ocean. It lies at the northern rim of the Upper Austroalpine (Northern Calcareous Alps) and consists of flysch-like coarse-grained deposits.

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

The Quattervals Nappe consists of a series of NNE-dipping slices that overthrust the Ortler Nappe along the western part of the Trupchun-Braulio Thrust. It comprises almost exclusively Late Triassic sediments, mostly dolomitic and calcareous formations of the Norian Hauptdolomit Group of considerable thickness overlain by Rhaetian deposits, which became detached from their former substratum along the Carnian Raibl Group during the Cretaceous orogeny.

English: Roccabella Slice

The Roccabella Slice, located northwest of the Engadine Fault, is found in the immediate footwall of a klippe of the Err Nappe and is in direct contact with the Platta Nappe in the area east of Septimerpass.

Deutsch: Müsella-Schuppe
Français: Écaille du Müsella
Italiano: Scaglia del Müsella
English: Müsella Slice

The Müsella Slice is composed of the Müsella basement and an overlying band of strongly tectonized Mesozoic sediments (“Corn element”). This slice is considered part of the Bernina Nappe Complex mainly for structural reasons. Thereby the Müsella basement is correlated with the basement of the Julier Nappe while the Mesozoic sediments are correlated with the Ela Nappe on the north-western side of the Engadine Fault. The Mesozoic sediments of the Müsella Slice are overthrust by the Upper Austroalpine Languard Nappe. Alternatively, this slice could be considered as part of the Upper Austroalpine Languard Nappe.

English: Camosci Nappe

The Camosci Nappe is a small Upper Helvetic tectonic nappe located south of the Nufenenpass and sandwiched between the Lower Penninic Sion-Courmayeur Nappe to the north and the Lepontic Monte Leone and Lebendun nappes to the south. It is made up of sediments with South Helvetic to Ultrahelvetic affinity.

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.
