Français: Zone de cisaillement du Vinschgau
Italiano: Zona di taglio del Vinschgau
English: Vinschgau Shear Zone

The Vinschgau Shear Zone represents the structurally highest unit of the Campo Nappe Complex and constitutes a greenschist-facies Alpine mylonitic belt with a thickness of up to 2–3 km that accommodates W-directed thrusting of the Ötztal Nappe Complex in the area north of the Vinschgau Valley floor. South of the valley floor and in the lowermost Val Müstair, the same mylonitic belt accommodates WNW-directed thrusting of the easternmost part of the Umbrail-Terza Slice Complex over the S-charl-Sesvenna Nappe.

Vinschgau = Val Venosta

Deutsch: Novate-Pluton
Français: Pluton de Novate
Italiano: Plutone di Novate
English: Novate Pluton

The main stock of the Novate Intrusion partially cuts the Bregaglia Intrusion while smaller parts lie just west of it. The Novate Intrusion is younger in age (24 Ma, Liati et al. 2000) and consists of a leucogranite. Its peraluminous chemical composition suggests that this granite is not related to the calc-alkaline Bregaglia suite, but was derived from the partial melting of crustal rocks that are widespread in the Southern Steep Belt – or root zone – north of the Tonale Fault.

The Upper Penninic subdomain of eastern Switzerland (Graubünden) is represented by oceanic rock associations: mostly sedimentary in the case of the Avers Nappe, largely magmatic in the Platta and Malenco-Forno-Lizun nappes and mainly with the character of a mélange zone for the Arosa Zone.
