Fig. 1

Regional setting of the northern Adula nappe. a Tectonic map of the eastern Lepontine Alps. Basement nappes are shown in grey or white; sediments are shown in colour. Modified after Spicher (1980), Berger and Mercolli (2006), Steck et al. (2013) and Galster et al. (2012) and updated. The large rectangle indicates the limit of Fig. 2. The indicated traces represent the principal antiform of different phases. The coordinate system is the kilometric Swiss grid (CH 1903). b Cross-section of the Eastern Lepontine Alps. Data are acquired from this work for the northern Adula nappe and compiled from Schmid et al. (1996), Nagel et al. (2002a), Berger et al. (2005), Galli et al. (2013) and Galster et al. (2012). The legend is the same as in (a) for the tectonic units outside the Adula nappe. The trace of the cross-section is indicated on the map (a)
