Definizione

Berger Alfons, Mercolli Ivan, Herwegh Marco, Gnos Edwin (2017) : Geological Map of the Aar Massif, Tavetsch and Gotthard Nappes. Geological Special Map 1:100'000, Explanatory Notes 129

p.72: The Uffiern Diorite, the Cristallina Granodiorite and the Medel Granite constitute a single coherent plutonic complex towards the eastern end of the Gotthard Nappe. The Medel Granite is coarse-grained and locally porphyric, while the Cristallina Granodiorite is more fine-grained and equigranular. MERZ (1989) described the petrographic and structural characteristic of both units. VÖGELI et al.(2013) described the small occurrence of the Uffiern Diorite. The Medel Granite envelops the northern and the western part of the complex, whereas the Cristallina Granodiorite occupies the centre and the southern part. The roughly north–south oriented western intrusive contact of the Medel Granite perpendicularly crosscuts the steeply east–west oriented structures of the polycyclic metamorphic basement (Ausserbinn-Piz Cavel Zone) as well as the pre- to early Variscan metasedimentary and volcaniclastic sequences of the Val Rondadura Group. This is one of the important observations that allowed the reconstruction of the pre-Alpine evolution of the Gotthard Nappe (see MERCOLLI et al.1994 and references therein).
