Stratigraphy
| Local bed: | H | ||||
| Local order: | bottom to top | ||||
| Regional section: | Neuwied Basin | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Level H is towards the top of the sequence (site goes level Jb). Middle-Late Middle Pleistocene, Arvicola cantianus, Holsteinian, roughly 300,000BP. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Environment: | loess |
| Geology comments: Loess containing several other horizons including a pumice layer with icewedges and a basalt tuff. | |

Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
| Collection method comments: all fauna from below the 'Kaerlicher Brockentuff'. Sparse mollusc fauna, indicative full interglacial, rather humid conditions with oak forest. | |
