Italiano: Scaglia di San Giorgio
English: San Giorgio Slice

The San Giorgio Slice, located in the Valle Leventina, is a small tectonic unit of the Eastern Lepontic (Ticino Culmination) similar to the Soja Nappe. It consists of a crystalline basement (micaschists with metaconglomerate layers) and its Triassic sedimentary cover.

Within the S-charl-Sesvenna Nappe, the “S-charl-Unterbau” forms a series of NE–SW trending series of synclines and anticlines that affect both basement and cover without major detachments within the sedimentary sequence (Verrucano, Raibl snd Hauptdolomit Group).
