Deutsch: Tschingelhörner-Schuppen
Français: Écailles des Tschingelhörner
Italiano: Scaglie dei Tschingelhörner
English: Tschingelhörner Slices
The Tschingelhörner Slices are Lower Helvetic tectonic slices occurring on top of the Schabell Mélange and consisting mainly of Cretaceous limestones. These slices, characteristic of the footwall of the Glarus Thrust, were torn off their substratum during the thrusting of the Glarus Nappe Complex. Further north, under the Glarus Nappe Complex, thin slices of similar but more deformed limestones («Lochsiten-Kalk») occupy the same structural position.
Glarner Tschingelhörner = Tschingelhoren (GL)/(GR)
