Definizione

Gouffon Yves (Editor) (2024) : Tectonic Map of Switzerland 1:500000, Explanatory notes. Federal Office of Topography swisstopo, Wabern

The Antigorio Nappe and the Mergoscia Zone have been grouped under the term Antigorio Nappe Complex because the boundary between the two is not clear and has been defined differently by the authors (e.g., Burri 2005, Berger & Mercolli 2006, Pfeifer et al. 2018). Furthermore, this boundary is completely unidentifiable in the Southern Steep Belt (or “root zone” north of the Tonale Fault), where the rocks of each of these units are no longer recognizable due to their migmatization. In addition, isoclinal folds parallel to the schistosity affect the contact between these two units.
