PBDB Collection

Bed 29, Kernbohrung/Tongrube Wittnau, Baden-Württemberg (Jurassic of Germany)

Where: Germany (48.0° N, 7.8° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 36.8° N, 28.5° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Jurensismergel Formation, Late/Upper Toarcian (180.4 - 174.7 Ma)

• Bed at a depth of 83.6 m with a thickness of 0.3 m; aalensis zone; aalensis subzone; beyrichi horizon

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, shelly/skeletal claystone

• In the south-german basin (Süddeutsches Becken) located at the northern margin of the Thetys. About 50 km away from shore

• In this part of the Jurensismergel (jurensemarl) the quite fast and constant sedimentation is characterized by mostly strong Bositra-accumulations. The high content of lime results in so called Tutenmergel layers and lenses. Lime and pyrite nodules are less common in this part.

Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils

Collection methods: bulk, core,
