The Silltal Fault is the northern brittle continuation of the Brenner Fault Zone, marked by a narrow zone of cataclasis and, in three locations, clay-rich fault gouges. The clay mineral composition of these gouges is dominated by higher temperature 2M1 polytype illite/muscovite, with no 1M/1Md illite or mixed layer illite/smectite detected. Smectite is limited to the northern samples from the Stephansbrücke location, whereas chlorite is present in all samples. The K–Ar ages from the different sample size fractions (
