a Bedrock map of the Evolène area (Hérens valley); compiled after data from this study and existing maps (Moix and Stampfli 1980, 1981; Schneider 1982; Escher 1988; Allimann 1990; Kramar 1997; Steck et al. 1999; Sartori and Epard 2011; Glassey 2013; Marthaler et al. 2020a; Swisstopo Geocover); background altitude model ©Swisstopo; locations of the stratigraphic columns of Fig. b are indicated in green. b Characteristic lithostratigraphic successions through the base of the Série Rousse along the Hérens valley; 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; brown line, hardground. Stratigraphic columns acronyms and coordinates: Co [2′600′850/1′108′710], tectonically overturned, cf. Allimann (1990); Be [2′605′485/1′108′880]-[2′605′510/1′108′870], cf. Glassey (2013); MB [2′605′260/1′107′190]—[2′605′320/1′107′130]; RV [2′605′130/1′106′900]—[2′605′180/1′106′880]; Ts [2′600′050/1′107′940]—[2′599′790/1′107′790]; Vi [2′602′710/1′105′660]—[2′602′800/1′105′520], tectonically overturned, Fig. 4g from the center of the profile; PT [2′602′950/1′105′540]—[2′603′415/1′105′460], Fig. 9b from the top of the profile; SC [2′605′545/1′105′230]—[2′605′740/1′105′185]; SN [2′599′285/1′107′975]—[2′599′290/1′107′895], Fig. 8f–g from the center of the profile; MP [2′599′250/1′105′470]—[2′599′235/1′105′450]. c Pre-orogenic restoration attempt, reproducing lithological contacts and successions observed and reported in Fig. a-b
