p.430: The Antigorio fold nappe in the Antigorio (Toce) and Devero valleys is composed of three granitoid intrusions: (a) the 296 ± 2 Ma old Antigorio tonalite, (b) the dominant middle to coarse grained 290 ± 4 Ma old Antigorio granodiorite and (c) the 289 ± 4 Ma old Antigorio granite (Bergomi et al. 2007). The Antigorio granitoids are farther east intrusive in an older polycyclic and migmatitic basement. The granodiorite is also intrusive in the Paleozoic Baceno schist of the Devero valley and the Verampio window. The Pioda di Crana gneiss is dominated by a strongly foliated middle to fine grained 301 ± 4 Ma old granite gneiss (Bergomi et al. 2007). Locally and especially near the contact with the higher Mergoscia zone, polycyclic micaschists and amphibolites are common. The granodioritic and tonalitic Alpigia hornblende-biotite gneiss, here attributed to the Antigorio nappe, exhibits a regular contact with the staurolite–kyanite–garnet–micaschist of the Campo Tencia unit of the Simano nappe (Keller et al. 1980; Steck 1998; Berger et al. 2005). This contact may be tectonic or intrusive.
