[de] Piz Segnas
Der Piz Segnas ist ein Berg in der Schweiz. Der Gipfelaufbau besteht – ebenso wie der des benachbarten Piz Sardona – aus den sehr alten Gesteinen der Verrucano-Decke, die bei Auffaltung der Alpen über die viel jüngeren Flyschschichten geschoben wurde, die den Sockel des Berges bilden. Im ganzen Gebiet sieht man an den Bergflanken die durch diesen Vorgang entstandene markante Überschiebungslinie der Glarner Hauptüberschiebung, bekannt auch als Tektonikarena Sardona, sie ist unter diesem Namen seit dem Jahr 2008 als UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe gelistet.- [en] Piz Segnas
