Germany

Stratigraphy of the Lower Werra Cycle (Z1) in West Germany (preliminary results)

The Zechstein Limestone (Cal) of Western Germany has a clear stratigraphical subdivision. A lower unit (subcycle a) is separated from an upper unit (subcycle b) by a discontinuity, which is best exposed at the Solhops-Berg at the Harz Mountains and is here termed the ‘Solhops Discontinuity’. The discontinuity was caused by an extensive regression of the Zechstein Sea which led to subaerial exposure of large areas of the Zechstein basin. Based on this discontinuity, a preliminary stratigraphy of the Lower Werra cycle in Germany is established and compared with that of the English Zechstein sequence.
