p.36: Three allochthonous units, which were emplaced in an early phase onto the future Helvetic domain (see p. 31), crop out in the area between Linthal and Sargans. They are composed mainly of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene sediments deposited in the very distal part of the Helvetic realm: Blattengrat and Bad Ragaz nappes of South Helvetic, Sardona Nappe of Ultrahelvetic affinity. The three units were subsequently truncated by the Glarus Thrust, which is the basal thrust of the Upper Helvetic subdomain, and simultaneously cut by out-of-sequence thrusts also involving both the basement and the cover of the Aar Massif (see § 4.1.1, Fig. 5).
