a Geological cross-sections through the Mauvoisin area, Bagnes valley; modified after Argand (1911), Witzig (1948), Hagen (1951), Gouffon and Burri (1997), Burri et al. (1999); locations on Fig. 7a; A [2′593′530/1′097 ‘900]; A’ [2′596′320/1′093′260]; B [2′591′460/1′096′700]; B’ [2′594′410/1′091′790]; locations of the stratigraphic columns of Fig. b are indicated in green. b Characteristic lithostratigraphic successions through the base of the Série Rousse across the study area; scales differ between the stratigraphic columns (grey strokes represent ca. 20 m); triangles indicate breccia levels; circles, conglomerates; black points, detrital quartz; black dashes, dark calcschists; black lines, black schists. Stratigraphic columns acronyms and coordinates: PV [2′594′390/1′097′950]—[2′594′400/1′097′970], tectonically overturned; Sa [2′594′555/1′097′430]—[2′594′580/1′097′430]; Ro [2′594′110/1′097′570]—[2′594′090/1′097′560], tectonically overturned, pictures Fig. 8b-d; GR [2′593′780/1′097′055]—[2′593′780/1′097′045], tectonically overturned; DG [2′593′050/1′094′945]—[2′593′065/1′094′930], tectonically overturned; BP [2′593′130/1′094′830]—[2′593′160/1′094′860]; EG [2′593′710/1′092′930]—[2′593′615/1′092′930], tectonically overturned, Fig. 6d from the lower part of the profile. c Proposed pre-orogenic restoration (Late Cretaceous) of the cross-section of Fig. a; approximate pre-orogenic locations of the lithostratigraphic successions of Fig. b are indicated in green
