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

p.106: South of the Lago d’Orta, the major WSW– ENE trending Cremosina Fault cuts the Ivrea-Ceneri Complex. Early Jurassic sediments are trapped along it. This fault is most probably cut by the Lago Maggiore Fault. There is an apparent sinistral horizontal offset along the Cremosina Fault, displacing the lower crustal rocks of the Ivrea Zone by about 15 km. A vertical component is suggested by different crustal sections of the Strona-Ceneri Zone, yielding granitic intrusions to the north and the Permian surface overlain by volcanics to the south.
