Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: Lowest layer of the Chirotherium Sandstone (Middle Bundsandstein). Chirotherium Sandstone is equivalent to the uppermost part of the Solling Formation, which is dated as earliest Anisian in age (Kozur & Bachmann 2008 Berichte Geol. B.-A., 76) |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | medium,gray sandstone |
Environment: | paralic indet. |
Glacial or sequence phase: | transgressive |
Geology comments: "At the end of the alluvial magnacycle of the Middle Buntsandstein, the whole area of Thuringia is subjected to a major marine transgression leaving as products the grey, bleached Thuringian Chirotheriensandstein which contains beach sand plain deposits [...]" (Langbein, 1985, Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences, vol. 4, p. 565) |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body,mold/impression |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |

Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | selective quarrying,mechanical,survey of museum collection | ||
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis | ||
Museum repositories: | MfN | ||
Collectors: | Geissenhöhner | Collection dates: | 1937 |
Collection method comments: A fairly detailed description of the preparation of the type specimen of A. liliensterni is given by v. Huene (1939).
The specimen was found by the bricklayer Geissenhöhner and then came to the founder of the local museum and hobby paleontologist Rühe von Lilienstern who loaned it for the purpose of scientific examination to von Huene (ibid.). |
