Macrofossils, "?upper Middle Paleocene (?MP 5, BiochroM'97, 1997)" = ? Selandian thought by Gingerich (1976) on the basis of Plesiadapis walbeckensis to be "correlated somewhere between the Ples. anceps and Ples. rex zones" (i.e., middle Tiffanian), Infill of 14 m deep, N-S trending karstic fissure in late Early Triassic marly limestones (Lower Muschelkalk), consisting of mud (weathering remnant of the limestones) in the upper part and Early Oligocene marly sand including reworked Paleocene fossils in the lower part (Bachmann, 2008).
