p.26: Large, nappe-like thrusts are another characteristic of this region, the Mont Risoux - Mont Tendre Thrust being one of the best documented and most prominent. Field, seismic and borehole evidence document an amount of overthrusting of about 17.5 km (Ursprung 2022; see Pl. II, western cross-section).
