p.36: A peculiar unit is the Cavistrau Nappe (Käch 1969, 1972, Pfiffner 1978, 1985), which crops out on the northern flank of the Surselva. This nappe represents an overturned sequence of Permian to Late Jurassic sediments, which was emplaced onto the Trun-Punteglias Submassif as a W-facing recumbent fold and replaced the autochthonous Jurassic–Paleogene strata that were detached and transported farther nothwestwards. This fault-bend fold formed at the western margin of the Glarus Verrucano basin during inversion of this basin (Pfiffner 2014). It represents an embryonic stage of the Glarus Thrust that subsequently cut the Cavistrau Nappe by out-of-sequence thrusting.
