| Stratigraphy comments: "The Remigiusberg quarry belongs to the continental Carboniferous–Permian Lorraine–Saar–Nahe Basin, which is one of the largest intramontane basins of the European Variscides (Schäfer, 1986)." [...] "Radioisotopic dates from volcanic tuff beds of the Remigiusberg and immediately overlying Altenglan formations suggest that the sediments exposed at the Remigiusberg quarry cover the Carboniferous–Permian boundary with a minimum age of 298.7 ± 0.4 Ma" Werneburg et al. (2024) | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified silty sandstone | ||
| Includes fossils? | Y | ||
| Lithology description: "calcareous, fine-grained sandstone of gray-green colour with coarse silty lamina". "The Saar–Nahe Basin accumulated an up to a 10,000-m-thick succession of volcano-sedimentary rocks. [...] Up to 40 m of fluvio-lacustrine and deltaic sediments of the Remigiusberg Formation currently exposed at the Remigiusberg quarry show a complex interbedding of fluvio-deltaic conglomerate, sandstone, and mudstone, with lacustrine limestone and volcanic tuff beds as minor components. Lithostratigraphic subdivision of the succession is based on seven limestone units ranging 20–150 cm in thickness. The limestone units are referred to the Theisbergstegen and Haschbach lake levels of the middle part and to the Friedelhausen lake level of the basal upper part of the Remigiusberg Formation."
