p.68: The Upper Penninic subdomain of western Switzerland contains mainly magmatic and sedimentary rock units of oceanic origin. Some thin continental margin sedimentary series and small continental crust slices are intercalated within these units. All of these units were driven into a subduction zone under the Salassic nappes, some exposed to high-pressure metamorphic conditions, others remaining under lower pressure conditions.
