p.53: To the north, [the Soja Nappe] extends into the Garzott Slices located in the core of the Lunschania Antiform and surrounded by the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe. Due to this structural position, Gals ter et al. (2012) attached the Garzott Slices to the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe, but the facies analogies bring them closer to the Soja Nappe (Vögeli et al. 2013). A paleogeographic origin of the Soja Nappe between the Piz Terri-Lunschania Nappe and the Adula Nappe is plausible.
