Deutsch: Gallinera-Überschiebung
Français: Chevauchement de la Gallinera
English: Gallinera Thrust
The Gallinera Thrust corresponds to the eastern part of the main thrust of the Upper Orobic Nappe. It marks a change in the regional strike of the thrust, from E–W to NE–SW, likely due to the presence of a sinistral transfer zone towards the Giudicarie Fault. Since the Gallinera Thrust is clearly cut off by the Adamello Batholith, this sinistral transfer zone could, at least in part, be pre-Adamello in age.
