(1985) :
Field workshop on Triassic and Jurassic sediments in the Eastern Alps of Switzerland. Mitt. geol. Inst. ETH und Univ. Zürich (N.F.) 248, 81 S.
Slices of Triassic rocks dragged along below the Silvretta thrust. They seem to be related partly to the S-charl nappe (Dolomite of S-chanf), partly also to the Northern Calcareous Alps (Madrisa Zone of northern Graubünden).
