Deutsch: Soja-Decke
Français: Nappe du (Val) Soja
Italiano: Falda di Soja
English: Soja Nappe

The Soja Nappe is a small tectonic unit of the Eastern Lepontic (Ticino Culmination) located between the overlying frontal part of Adula Nappe and the underlying Simano Nappe. To the north, it extends into the Garzott Slices located in the core of the Lunschania Antiform and surrounded by the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe. It includes a polycyclic crystalline basement covered by Permian to Jurassic sediments.

Deutsch: Garzott-Schuppen
Français: Écailles de Garzott
Italiano: Scaglie di Garzott
English: Garzott Slices

The Garzott Slices are considered as a northern extension of the Soja Nappe in the core of the Lunschania Antiform, where they are surrounded by the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe. Due to this structural position, Galster et al. (2012) attached the Garzott Slices to the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe, but the facies analogies bring them closer to the Soja Nappe (Vögeli et al. 2013).

Deutsch: Roisan–Cignana-Scherzone
Français: Zone de cisaillement de Roisan–Cignana
Italiano: Zona di taglio Roisan–Cignana
English: Roisan–Cignana Shear Zone

The Roisan-Cignana Shear Zone consists of slices of Mesozoic sediments and crystalline basement in a mylonitic matrix derived from the adjacent Dent Blanche Nappe (Arolla Unit) and of the Mont Mary Nappe (Lower and Upper units). The high-pressure mineral assemblages along the contact between these tectonic slices indicates that their emplacement occurred in an early deformation stage, before or during the subduction.

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

Within the S-charl-Sesvenna Nappe, the Tavrü Slice (formerly known as “S-charl-Oberbau”) consists entirely of a Norian to Cretaceous succession, volumetrically dominated by an over 2 km thick Hauptdolomit. It is completely detached from the Carnian Raibl Group. This slice, separated from the tectonically higher Ötztal Nappe by the Schlinig Thrust, suffered substantial internal extension in a domino-style.

English: Lower Orobic Imbricates

The Lower Orobic Imbricates encompasses units of the median part of the thin-skinned thrust sheets of the eastern South Alpine domain. The en-échelon arrangement of its ramp anticlines is similar to that of the overlying Upper Orobic Nappe with a more diffuse deformation in the sedimentary cover. A large part of the Bergamasc Alps and of the Giudicarie region belongs to this unit.

The Mesozoic is the middle geochronologic era of the Phanerozoic eon, starting with the Induan age (at the transition from the Paleozoic era) and ending with the Maastrichtian age (at the transition to the Cenozoic period). It is subdivided in three periods (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous).

The Pleistocene is the first geochronologic epoch of the Quaternary, starting with the Gelasian age (at the transition from the Pliocene epoch) and ending with an unnamed age at the transition to the Holocene epoch. It is subdivided in three subepochs (Early, Middle and Late Pleistocene).

English: Infra-Niesen Mélange

The Infra-Niesen Mélange, forming the base of the Niesen Nappe, is composed of slivers of pre-flysch series within a mainly gypsum-anhydrite and rarely “wildflysch” matrix. These slivers consist of rare gneiss, Triassic to Late Jurassic sedimentary rocks as well as Niesen Flysch.
