p.36: In the Klausenpass region, several small units are wedged between the sedimentary series of the Aar massif and the Axen Thrust. These are the Kammlistock and Griessstock nappes, the Clariden Slice Complex and the Fiseten-Orthalden Slices. The sediments of all these units are Late Jurassic to Paleogene in age and were deposited further south than the autochthonous-parautochthonous sediments of the Aar Massif, but still in the North Helvetic realm.
