Steck et al. 2013, p.429: "The Verampio and Leventina units are the deepest units of the Alpine nappe stack, exposed in the Toce and Ticino dome structures (Figs. 2, 3; Table 1). The deep seismic study (Swiss National Foundation Project no. 20, Steck et al. 1997; Steck 2008) confirmed the thrust sheet geometry of the Verampio nappe, itself separated by an unnamed nappe (X-nappe on cross-section 3, Fig. 3) from the root of the northern Gotthard fold nappe. The Verampio fold nappe is composed of the 291 ± 4 Ma old Verampio granite (U–Pb zircon age, François Bussy in Steck et al. 2001) intrusive in Paleozoic meta-greywackes (Baceno schists) and separated from the higher Antigorio fold nappe by a syncline of autochthonous Mesozoic sediments, the Teggiolo zone (Steck et al. 1999, 2001)."

p.47: The Verampio Nappe is the lowest unit of the Toce Culmination. It appears as a window in the Valle Antigorio. This nappe consists of a paragneiss basement intruded by a Variscan granite (289 ± 3 Ma, Bergomi et al. 2007) and overlain by a thin Mesozoic sedimentary cover. The same Mesozoic series occupies the reverse limb of the overlying Antigorio Nappe. Steck et al. (2001) suggest the contact between these two nappes is a thrust isoclinal recumbent syncline.
