p.31: East of the Thunersee, the boundary between the Lower Helvetic and the Upper Helvetic is formed by major out-of-sequence thrusts of the second [deformation] phase, which cut the entire structural framework formed during the first phase; from west to east these are the Axen and the Glarus thrusts. As a consequence of this out-of-sequence thrusting, units of Ultrahelvetic origin are now found both above and below these major thrust faults, i. e., in the Upper Helvetic and in the Lower Helvetic subdomains, respectively.
