U deposit, Eiblgraben, Hochfilzen, Kitzbüheler Alpen Mts, North Tyrol, Tyrol, Austria

(Uranlagerstätte, Eiblgraben, Hochfilzen, Kitzbüheler Alpen, Nordtirol, Tirol, Österreich)

Synsedimentary uranium deposit in grey layers within permian sandstones ('Alpiner Buntsandstein').

The whole area south of Fieberbrunn-Hochfilzen contains widespread, but minor stratiform uranium mineralisation (pitchblende bound to fossilised plants) in connection with sulphide mineralisation (mainly pyrite).
The mineralisation formed in a reducing shallow-water environment.

Further sublocalities with outcrops in this area are:
Eiserne Hand (Hördlinger Gr.), Gaisberg, Gand, Krotenbach (near Fieberbrunn), Rohr, Winkl-Schattseite, Wörglbach.
