p.87: The Schlattain-Clavadatsch-Padella Slices form small isolated klippen, located in the core of the synclinorium of the “Samedan Zone” and composed of Triassic to Late Cretaceous sediments (Roesli 1945, Eberli 1988, Furrer et al. 1985). They were thrust onto the cover of the Err Nappe and attributed to the Bernina Nappe Complex.
