Also known as ETE Locality 1555, Frick bonebed, Tonwerke Keller
Where: Aargau, Switzerland (47.5° N, 8.0° E: paleocoordinates 30.4° N, 10.2° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Gruhalde Member (Klettgau Formation), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)
• Bed 65 is bone-bearing layer, 8.2 m above Gansinger Dolomit and 1.9 m below Liassic Insektenmergel. Rhät missing at Frick, so this bed is equivalent to Knollenmergel, or upper Middle Keuper. Layer locally called the "Obere bunte Mergelschichten" = actually is lower part of Löwenstein Fm. Now the Gruhalde Member of the Klettgau Fm.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: "floodplain"; gray, green, red marl
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Collected by E. Wälchli in 1961, 1976–1988, 2016
Collection methods: quarrying, surface (in situ), mechanical,
• ETE reference list: 478; discovered by children of a quality controller (Ernst Wälchli) at brickwork company in 1961
