Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | North Alpine Foreland Basin | Formation: | Upper Freshwater Molasse | ||
| Stratigraphy comments: The overbank deposits lithostratigraphically belong to the lower part of the Nördlicher Vollschotter unit (Abdul-Aziz et al., 2008, fig. 2). The small mammal fauna contains a typical sized Megacricetodon bavaricus and can thus be correlated biostratigraphically with the fauna of Langenmoosen and Bellenberg (Scho¨ tz, 1993), which correspond to the faunal unit OSM B (MN 5). Correlation with biomagnetostratigraphically dated sections suggest an age of about 17.1 My (Abdul-Aziz et al., 2008) (From Klembara et al. 2010) | |||||
