What about the Toarcian / Pliensbachian ? Yes, Pliensbachian and Toarcian are also there high up in the cliffs and only with great difficulty to access in the lower part of the Aubach canyon. I've not been there all that often, so I don't know my way aroung there very well, but I do know that the Hettangian and Sinemurian layers by the waterfall near Mundelfingen at the upper end of the path lie 150 meters higher than the ones at the entrance by Aselfingen, so there is a tectonic vertical displacement somewhere in between, although it's exact location has not been pinpointed to date. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Everhardus Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We were in the lower part of the canyon. The cliffs are indeed very high and steep so one is more or less dependent of rocks that have fallen down. Summer might not be the best time to collect there, i can imagine that after the winter there's more fresh blocks to be found........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking now that maybe I'll get down there for a peek once the weather warms up a bit. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

First we met at his house for a cup of coffee and ofcourse i wanted to see his collection and check his workshop. I sort of knew what to expect and sure enough, what a collection !!

Everhardus Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 This looks like a Ctenostréon bivalve to me. Sadly it is partly pretty worn......Found at a ground dumping site near Gosheim with a lot of Jurassic material. Finds were a bit dissapointing, apart from 2 of these bivalves there was one decent size imprint of ammonite and one partial (pretty big) belemnite. Lovely scenery though !
