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

p.47: 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.

    In breve

    The Antigorio Nappe is a tectonic nappe of the Western Lepontic (Toce Culimnation) consisting mainly of Variscan granitoids. In its northwestern part, this basement is surrounded by an autochthonous Mesozoic–Paleogene sedimentary cover, which could be connected to the cover of the Verampio Nappe via an early thrust syncline. Late folding is responsible for two multi-kilometer-scale isoclinal structures: the Alpe Bosa-Wandfluhhorn fold and the Ziccher fold.

    In breve

    The Mergoscia Zone is a heterogeneous tectonic unit of the Western Lepontic (Toce Culimnation). It is composed of ortho- and paragneisses, metapelites, calcschists, metabasites and meta-ultrabasites. Both metabasites and meta-ultrabasites contain rare relics of high-pressure metamorphism (retrogressed eclogites and garnet-metaperidotites). This zone, displaying a high degree of deformation, is also interpreted as a mélange rather than as an originally stratified framework.
