•Sachs et al. 2021: Its lithology represents a carbonate rock succession, dominated by lithographic as well as thin siliceous limestones (‘Plattensilex’). The formation ranges from the upper Aulacostephanus pseudomutabilis to the upper Hybonoticeras beckeri Tethyan ammonite Zones (Niebuhr and Pürner, 2014). The matrix BMMS-BK 1-2 is embedded in is a white-coloured thin and fine-laminated siliceous limestone.
