Die Grava-Decke bildete ursprünglich die nördliche Fortsetzung der Tomül-Decke.
Descrizione
- Descrizione
-
Unterpenninische Decke der Ostschweiz. Wie die hangende Tomül-Decke ist sie aus einer eher monotonen Abfolge von schiefrigen tonigen und kalkigen Metasedimenten («Bündnerschiefer») aufgebaut.

p.72: The Grava Nappe overlies the Aul Nappe with a basal mélange zone, which contains Early Jurassic Gryphaea-bearing limestones (Nabholz 1945), metabasalts and dark shales. The rest of the nappe consists of Cretaceous “Bündnerschiefer” (Steinmann 1994). This nappe is folded around the front of the Adula Nappe and the Lunschania Antiform. In an overturned tectonic position, it can be followed all the way into a synform located between the Simano and Leventina-Lucomagno nappes (Wiederkehr et al. 2008). Westward it is found as a klippe in the core of the Molare Syncline (see § 5.7). Further west, an outcrop of “Bündnerschiefer” pinched in the Piora-Peiden Slice Complex (located between Lago Ritom and Airolo) is attributed to the Grava Nappe based on lithological and structural analogy. This latter occurence closes the nappe to the southwest above Airolo. However, the Quaternary cover hides this possible closure and it could instead connect with the Sion-Courmayeur Nappe that passes just south of this locality and contains similar rocks (Probst 1980).
