p.85: The Err Nappe (Stöcklin 1949) is a basement-cover nappe located north of a multiply deformed synclinorium, the so-called “Samedan Zone”, that separates the Err Nappe from the southerly adjacent basement of the Julier Nappe that is part of the Bernina Nappe Complex (Handy et al. 1996, Handy 1996, Manatschal & Nievergelt 1997).
