Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:local area
Time
Period:Paleogene Epoch:Paleocene

Age range of interval:66.00000 - 61.60000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Bruderndorf
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: The Danian age of the Bruderndorf Fm. was inferred by KÜHN (1930) on the basis of its faunal content, in part on the occurrence of the nautilid Hercoglossa danica (SCHLOTHEIM). This age assignment has later been substantiated by studies of the foraminiferan fauna (SCHMID, 1962) and calcareous nannoplankton (STRADNER, 1961, 1962). According to PERCH-NIELSEN (1979), the nannoplankton assemblage indicates a Late Danian age (NP 3/4) (compare STÜRMER in STÜRMER et al., 1991).
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: poorly lithified calcareous sandstone
Lithology description: White-grey calcareous marly sandstone. Regionally, the sandstone facies includes light grey, locally glauconitic or marly, fine- to medium-grained sandstones.
Environment:transition zone/lower shoreface
Geology comments: Interfingers with a calcareous facies containing coralline algae, implying a fairly shallow environment. Sedimentology, the echinoid fauna, and the regional setting indicate an upper shelf setting with low water energy. Schmidt (1962) inferred a depth of 100-200 m for a fine sand facies near Haidhof, on the basis of the foraminiferal fauna.
