The Steinalm Formation is a geologic formation in the Northern Limestone Alps, in Austria.
It is a sub−unit of the Wetterstein limestone formation, found in the Limestone Alps.
It preserves fossils dated to the Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era.
The Hinton Formation is a geologic formation in West Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period. It is mainly made up of limestone, sandstone, and shale.
The Williamsport Sandstone is a sandstone geologic formation in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. the formation includes the Cedar Creek Limestone member. Near Cumberland, Maryland it includes the Cedar Creek Limestone member. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Dundee Limestone is a geologic formation in Michigan, Ohio and Ontario. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
The Harrodsburg Limestone is a geologic formation, a member of the Sanders Group of Indiana Limestone, of Mississippian age. It was named for Harrodsburg in southern Monroe County, Indiana by T. C. Hopkins and C. E. Siebenthal. It is made up primarily of calcarenite and calcirudite. It also may include some beds of dolomite and shale.
The Laurel Formation, also known as the Laurel Limestone or the Laurel Dolomite, is a geologic formation in Indiana and Kentucky. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Burlington Limestone is a geologic formation in Missouri, Iowa and the Midwest region. It preserves fossils dating back to the Mississippian subperiod.
The Schrambach Formation is a geologic formation in the Northern Limestone Alps of Austria and Germany. It preserves fossils dating back to the Early Cretaceous period.
The Strubberg Formation is a geologic formation in Germany. It preserves fossils dating back to the Jurassic period.
The Weißjura Formation is a Limestone geologic formation located in the Swabian Jura range, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The Kössen Formation is a Late Triassic (Rhaetian-age) geological formation in the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria and Germany, in the Tiroler-Lech Nature Park. During the Late Triassic, the area now occupied by the Northern Calcareous Alps was instead a long, passive coastline at the western tip of the Neotethys Ocean. The environment was initially dominated by a wide and shallow carbonate platform within a lagoon between the shore and a string of reefs. This carbonate platform is nowadays preserved as the Carnian to Norian-age Hauptdolomit and Dachstein Formation. The Kössen Formation represents a period of increased siliciclastic clay input into the lagoon, covering up the carbonate platform with marls and marly limestones instead of pure limestone or dolomite. The Eiberg Member of the Kössen Formation was deposited in the Eiberg basin, a narrow strip of deeper water which developed between the carbonate platform and the shoreline in the later part of the Rhaetian.
The Kellergrat Reef Limestone is a geologic formation in Austria. It preserves fossils dated to the Devonian period.
The Hohe Warte Limestone is a geologic formation in Austria. It preserves fossils dated to the Devonian period.
The Rotgefleckter Liaskalk is a geologic formation in Austria. It preserves fossils dated to the Jurassic period.
The Hierlatz Limestone is a geologic formation in Austria. It preserves fossils dated to the Jurassic period.
The Tisovec Limestone is a geologic formation in Austria. It preserves fossils dating back to the Triassic period.
The Raibl Formation is an Upper Triassic geologic formation in the Northern and Southern Limestone mountain ranges of the Eastern Alps, in Central Europe.
The Reingrabener Schiefer is a lithostratigraphic unit, often described as independent geologic formation, or as a member of Lunz Formation. Reingraben shales are represented by black-brown or black, hard clayey shales and marly shales. Often contains spherosiderite nodules.
The Grossreifling Limestone is a geologic formation in Austria. It preserves fossils dated to the Triassic period.
The Oberrhaet Formation, also known as the Oberrhaet Limestone, is a Late Triassic (Rhaetian-age) geological formation in Austria. It is a unit of massive dark grey bioclastic limestones, found within the Northern Calcareous Alps. The Oberrhaet Limestone was originally a series of reefs which developed on the northwest edge of the Eiberg Basin, a narrow marine waterway extending along the northwestern tip of the Neotethys Ocean. The center of the Eiberg Basin is nowadays preserved as the Eiberg Member of the Kössen Formation, which was deposited southeast of the Oberrhaet Limestone and interfingers with it in many areas. The Oberrhaet Limestone was very similar to the Dachstein Limestone, which represented carbonate platforms and reefs on the southeast edge of the Eiberg Basin. The most prominent components of the reefs were giant frond-like colonies of Retiophyllia, a scleractinian coral.
The Partnach Formation is a Middle Triassic geologic formation in the eastern Northern Limestone Alps and Western Carpathians, within Austria and Slovakia, Central Europe. The formation consists of alternating grey and green marls and shales and grey limestones, often brecciated, oncolithic and containing clay intraclasts. The formation is gradually evolving from the Reifling Formation. It is usually overlain by the Lunz/Reibl Formation or Wetterstein Formation. Sediments of the Partnach Formation were deposited in intrashelf basins.
