Stratigraphy
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: mittlere Serie der Oberen Süßwasser-Molasse (middle series of Upper Freshwater Molasse); Above the "Brockhorizont" (generated by the Ries-impact). The Channal fill is located about 6 m above the collection Gisseltshausen 1a in the same outcrop.
the Ries ejecta are 14.88 +/- 0.11 Ma old (Aziz et al. 2007), implying a Langhian age
