The Mischabel and Monte Rosa nappe are Penninic crystalline basement (European plate), the Dent Blanche nappe represents Austroalpine continental basement (Apulian plate). TGU Theodul Glacier Unit (Weber and Bucher 2015) see detailed geological map Fig. 3, LdC Lago di Cignana coesite locality (Reinecke 1991, 1998), eclogitic pillow lavas at Pfulwe locality (Bucher et al. 2005), eclogite facies meta-gabbro at Allalinhorn (Bucher and Grapes 2009)
