Abstract A thick upper Proterozoic sedimentary sequence (4.5–6 km) has been identified in the Sarv Nappe of the southern Swedish Caledonides. The sequence, defined as the Tossasfjallet Group, is divisible into five formations named in ascending order as the Lunndorrsfjallen Formation (alluvial), Krakhammaren Formation (alluvial-littoral), Storan Formation (littoral), Lillfjallet Formation (glacial-periglacial-aquatic), and Lovan Formation (alluvial). Palaeocurrents throughout the whole of the group suggest a general sediment transport from the Fennoscandian Shield towards the northwest. The group is cut at high angles by a tholeiitic dyke swarm. During the Caledonian Orogeny the Sarv Nappe was displaced east-southeastwards over a distance exceeding 250 km. In its main outcrop area in Jamtland the nappe occurs as a major recumbent fold; its lower limb is highly attenuated, mylonitized and largely cut out by the basal thrust plane.
