In June of 1970 it was my privilege to spend several days studying the classical Lochseite of the Glarus overthrust near Schwanden, Switzerland. Before going there I had an interview with Dr. K. I. Hsu of Zurich, who recently published a study of his interpretation of how this overthrust of Jurassic limestone on Eocene rock occurred. In this article a resumé of Hsu’s observations and conclusions will be given first, followed by my own observations and experiments. A discussion of how this series of stratified rocks may be interpreted in terms of flood geology will then be given. A comparison of this overthrust with the far more extensive wrong order formation known as the Lewis overthrust, and recently observed small overthrusts resulting from the earthquake in the Newhall area described by Dr. George Howe in this issue will also be made.
