A Lithological log of Litten-Chreialp-Tesel section with discontinuity surfaces (D13 to D17). Rudist-shells drawings from Matheron (1842) and from Pictet and Campiches (1868–1871). Rudist-cross sections modified after Masse and Fernerci-Masse (2015). Harpagodes drawing from Pictet and Renevier (1854–1858). Echinoids drawings from Pictet and Renevier (1858) and Lambert (1920). B Litten-Chreialp—Tesel section. North-eastward view of Sattel from the pastures below Chridegass allowing the observation of the Tierwis Formation and lower part of the Schrattenkalk Formation (unit S2). C Focus on the Agriopleura-bearing beds on top of unit S2. D Orthophoto (© swisstopo) between Zehespitz and Sattel with the path rising from Eggsteihalde to Wildhuser Schofbode on which are reported the main lithostratigraphic units and discontinuity surfaces are displayed. E North eastward view of Sattel from the lower pastures of Tesel showing the lithostratigraphic succession and the discontinuity surfaces between the unit S2 of the Schrattenkalk formation and the Selun Member of the Garschella Formation above. F Focus on the Palorbitolina lenticularis-bearing marlstone in the lower third of the Grünten Member cropping out along the path
