Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | North Alpine Foreland Basin | Formation: | Upper Freshwater Molasse | Member: | Fluviatile Untere Serie |
| Stratigraphy comments: Sandy channel fill sediments indicate the lithostratigraphic position within the FIGURE 1—Digital elevation model of southern Germany (from Kuhlemann et al., 2006) and location of Pseudopus localities. 1 – Erkertshofen, 2 -Petersbuch, 3 – Niederaichbach, 4 – Sainbach, 5 – Walda, 6 –Griesbeckerzell, 7 – Kleineisenbach. 160 JOURNAL OF PALEONTOLOGY, V. 84, NO. 2, 2010 Fluviatile Untere Serie unit (fossiliferous level at 465 m above sea level). These sands overlie the youngest marls of the Older Series biostratigraphical unit (top of the marls at 463 m a.s.l. in the locality Oberbernbach 2.5 km SSE of the Sainbach outcrop) and are positioned below the Ries boulder horizon (Brock horizon), which is found in this region between 480 and 485 m a.s.l. (Doppler et al., 2002; Bo¨hme et al., 2007). The inferred stratigraphy for the Sainbach Pseudopus is therefore the early, pre-riesian part of the Middle Series, which corresponds to the unit OSM E (MN 5).(From Klembara et al. 2010) | |||||
