p.89: In the Rätikon area (northeastern corner of the Prättigau Half-Window), Nagel (2006) correlated the Lower Austroalpine slices to the following units defined south of the Prättigau Half-Window: the “Walser Slice” with the Rothorn Nappe (Bernina Nappe Complex) and the “Schwarzhorn Slice” with the Dorfberg Nappe (Err Nappe Complex). The “Schwarzhorn Slice” consists mainly of a metamorphosed diorite body of Cambrian age (Nilius et al. 2016) and is interpreted to represent the continuation of the “Gabbrozug” in the Dorfberg Nappe (Streckeisen 1948).
