Tectonic cross-section across the eastern Swiss Alps, modified after Nagra (2008), based on Pfiffner et al. (1997) and references therein. The red crosses denote the hypocentres of earthquakes with focal mechanisms, located within a maximum distance of 12 km to the trace of the cross-section (for the three Wildhaus events only one symbol is plotted). SS strike-slip fault, NF normal fault, TF thrust fault, TS thrust fault with strike slip component
