Oblique birds-eye view from SSW of the two (modified) intersecting cross-sections of Oberholzer (1933) and Pfiffner (1978) with sequence of deformation phases. The western part of the cross-section of Pfiffner (1978) is transparent to see the folds in the Cavorgia Slice drawn by Oberholzer (1933). Pfiffner (1978) interprets thrust C4 as the separation between the so-called Cavirolas Slice (below) and the Cavorgia Slice (above). We did not make this distinction in our study. The two cross-sections do not fit perfectly. In particular, the thickness of the Cavorgia Slice is quite different; hence also the aforementioned thrust C4 is not collocated, but nevertheless represents the same principles in both cross-sections
