    In short

    The WNW-facing Umbrail-Chavalatsch Slices consist of a very complicated zone of imbrication with two lithologically and tectonically separate units: firstly, slices of Late Triassic sediments of the Raibl and Hauptdolomit groups, which were sheared off their original stratigraphical underpinnings (S-charl-Sesvenna Nappe), and secondly, pre-Mesozoic basement slices that are correlated with the tectonically higher basement of the Ötztal Nappe Complex that tectonically overlies the S-charl-Sesvenna nappe.
