English: Gibelegg Slice
The Giebelegg Slice is the northernmost (most external) and youngest imbricated zone of the Subalpine Molasse in the Gurnigel area. The strata mostly dip between 60° and 80° (steeper in the east than in the west). It is composed of proximal deposits of the Upper Marine Molasse (OMM) with sediment supply from the Napf (older part) and Guggisberg (younger part) alluvial fans.
