Also known as Saurierbank Heim's, Belodonbank Nöth's, oberer Springer

Where: Bayern, Germany (49.8° N, 10.5° E: paleocoordinates 22.3° N, 15.3° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Blasensandstein Member (Hassberge Formation), Carnian (237.0 - 228.0 Ma)

• Bed 9 within the Ebrach quarry (see Kuhn 1932, 1936:93), with 20-70 cm thickness; Blasensandstein locally overlies the Lehrbergschichten and underlies the Coburger Sandstein and is laterally equivalent to the Kieselsandstein of Baden-Württemberg which is now the lower Hassberge Formation, Middle Keuper Subgroup, and is considered late Carnian in age (see Deutsche Stratigraphische Kommission 2005: Cour. Forsch.-Inst. Senckenberg 253:1-296).

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; fine-grained, quartzose, white sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by F. Heim, A. Neukam, L. Nöth in 1929-1932; reposited in the BSP

Collection methods: salvage, quarrying, mechanical,

• A systematic excavation of 250 m2 was made by L. Nöth in 1932, recovering 90 specimens
