p.435: The Lebendun nappe is composed of a polymictic conglomerate and a micaschist (‘‘schisti bruni’’, Burckhardt 1942; Burckhardt and Gu¨nthert 1957; Joos 1969). Pebbles of Triassic dolomite testify the post-Triassic, possibly Cretaceous age of these sediments (Rodgers and Bearth 1960; Spring et al. 1992). It occupies a large zone to the north of the Antigorio nappe and Sambuco unit. Another up to 50 m thick band of Lebendun conglomerate is exposed on the mountain ridge to the north of the Pizzo di Bronzo in the upper Valle dell’Isorno, between the Bosco zone on top and the Antigorio gneiss at the base. The tectonic position of the Lebendun conglomerates suggests that they have been thrust from the south of the Maggia and the north of the Monte Leone nappes (Fig. 4).
