Deutsch: Tschingelhörner-Schuppen Français: Écailles des Tschingelhörner Italiano: Scaglie dei Tschingelhörner English: Tschingelhörner Slices
The Tschingelhörner Slices are Lower Helvetic tectonic slices occurring on top of the Schabell Mélange and consisting mainly of Cretaceous limestones. These slices, characteristic of the footwall of the Glarus Thrust, were torn off their substratum during the thrusting of the Glarus Nappe Complex. Further north, under the Glarus Nappe Complex, thin slices of similar but more deformed limestones («Lochsiten-Kalk») occupy the same structural position.
Deutsch: Cavistrau-Decke Français: Nappe du Cavistrau Italiano: Falda del Cavistrau English: Cavistrau Nappe
The Cavistrau Nappe is a Lower Helvetic tectonic nappe on the northern flank of the Surselva. It represents an overturned sequence of Permian to Late Jurassic sediments, which was emplaced onto the Trun-Punteglias Submassif as a W-facing recumbent fold and replaced the autochthonous Jurassic–Paleogene strata that were detached and transported farther nothwestwards.
The Fiseten-Orthalden Slices are small Lower Helvetic tectonic units of the Klausenpass region, wedged between the sedimentary series of the Aar massif and the Axen Thrust. They are constituted by Late Jurassic to Paleogene sediments that were deposited further south than the autochthonous-parautochthonous sediments of the Aar Massif, but still in the North Helvetic realm.

Deutsch: Rothorn-Schwarzhorn-Deckenkomplex Français: Complexe de nappes du Rothorn-Schwarzhorn Italiano: Complesso di falde del Rothorn-Schwarzhorn English: Rothorn-Schwarzhorn Nappe Complex
The Rothorn-Schwarzhorn Nappe Complex encompasses relatively small tectonic units situated south and northeast of the Prättigau Half-Window and separating the Upper Penninic Arosa Zone from the Upper Austroalpine Schiahorn and Silvretta nappes. The lithofacies of the sediments preserved in these units have a Lower Austroalpine affinity, i.e., an Adriatic distal margin origin.

Deutsch: Mezzaun-Störung Français: Détachement de Mezzaun English: Mezzaun Detachment Fault
The Mezzaun Detachment Fault designates the southwestern rim of the underlying dome-shaped Murtiröl Slice. It is one of the most spectacular normal faults of the Austroalpine, attributed to the Late Cretaceous phase of extension that postdates Cretaceous shortening but predates Cenozoic collision.

Deutsch: «Südliche Mittagsspitz-Zone» Français: «Zone méridionale du Mittagsspitz» Italiano: «Zona meridionale del Mittagsspitz» English: «Southern Mittagsspitz Zone»
In the Rätikon area (northeast corner of the Prättigau Half-Window), Nagel (2006) correlates the sedimentary «Southern Mittagspitz Zone» with the Schiahorn Nappe, both having a similar stratigraphic sequence with respect to the Allgäu Nappe, as well as a structurally comparable position with it.

Deutsch: Martegnas-Melange Français: Mélange du Piz Martegnas Italiano: Mélange del Piz Martegnas English: Martegnas Mélange
The Martegnas Mélange is a tectonic mélange situated in the upper (overturned) limb of the Niemet-Beverin Backfold, at the contact between the Schams Nappe Complex and the Arblatsch Flysch (Tomül Nappe).

The Upper Austroalpine embraces those units originating from the Adriatic continental plate that are interpreted to originally have been relatively more proximal in respect to the distal continental margin units preserved in the Lower Austroalpine, which it overthrust. The Upper Austroalpine units underwent less deformation during the opening of the Piemonte-Liguria Ocean and generally appear less intensely deformed during the Alpine orogeny. Many of them are basement-cover nappes, except for the small Roggenstock-Mördergruebi Nappe, the nappes of the Northern Calcareous Alps and the Quattervals Nappe, which are made up entirely of sedimentary rocks.
