Palaeogeographic reconstruction of the late Liddle Eocene—Early Oligocene Alpine source-to-sink systems. From 41 to 33 Ma the Glarus A and Trentino basin were supplied from the northern Adamello magmatic system. The absence of contemporaneous detrital zircons in the Haute-Savoie and Alpe Taveyanne areas possibly indicates prolonged hemipelagic sedimentation in that part of the North Alpine foreland basin. From 34 to 29 Ma the Glarus B and Haute-Savoie/Alpe Taveyanne were supplied from the Bergell and Biella magmatic systems, respectively
