p.52: The Cima Lunga Nappe is made up of paragneisses, orthogneisses, sheets of marble and calcschist as well as lenses of mafic and ultramafic rocks that locally have an incoherent character. Eclogitic mineral assemblages are widespread in the mafic and ultramafic rocks. Sheath folds around the disrupted competent mafic and ultramafic lenses suggest intense shearing within a shear zone at the base of the Maggia Nappe (Maino et al. 2021). The Cima Lunga Nappe shows lithological and deformational similarities to the Mergoscia Zone (see § 5.1). The contact between the Cima Lunga Nappe and the underlying Simano Nappe is tentatively defined by the calcschists and the higher degree of strain within the paragneisses. The boundary to the overlying Maggia Nappe follows generally the base of the orthogneisses of the Maggia Nappe. According to most authors, the Cima Lunga Nappe is connected in the east, to the Adula Nappe in the lower Valle Mesolcina. Several authors (e.g., Evans et al. 1979, Engi et al. 2001) consider the Cima Lunga Nappe to be an exhumed high-pressure nappe or a tectonic mélange from a subduction channel, such as the Adula Nappe (see below). According to Tagliaferri et al. (2023), the Cima Lunga Nappe is a pre-Variscan sedimentary sequence that was intruded by Permian magmas, which are the protoliths of the orthogneisses of the Simano Nappe; in this interpretation, Cima Lunga and Simano are two distinct lithologic units of a single nappe.
