• Der Greifensteiner Kalk ist eine charakteristische karbonatische Abfolge der Hörrezone, die innerhalb von Tonschiefern entweder als Linsen eingeschuppt (BENDER 1998) oder als Schuttströme oder Rutschmassen (Olisthostrome) abgelagert wurde. (The Greifenstein Limestone is a characteristic carbonate sequence of the Hörrezone, which are scaled within clay slates either as lenses (BENDER 1998) or deposited as debris streams or landslides (olisthostromes).)
