• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Mohrenbach Formation, Gzhelian (303.7 - 298.9 Ma)
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
• The Georgenthal and Möhrenbach Formations unconformably overlie the folded Variscan basement, which consists of Proterozoic to Lower Palaeozoic formations of the Saxothuringian zone in the SE, a deeply-weathered granitic massif in the middle part (Thüringer Hauptgranit, Visé), and metamorphic rocks of the Ruhla Crystalline Complex in the NW. The Georgenthal and Möhrenbach formations mainly consist of trachyticlatitic volcanics, pyroclastics and intrusives. In addition, the Möhrenbach Formation contains acid volcanics that become increasingly acid upwards.
