The region is c. 1400 km² and contains the relicts of c. 300 Paleogene volcanoes (Huckenholz 1983; Jung et al. 2006). It lies between West and East Eifel volcanic fields, with which it overlaps and extends to the NE towards the Siebengebirge. The centres are deeply eroded stocks and plugs, rangingin diameter from a few metres to several hundred meters, which have penetrated folded Devonian sediments; there are some remnants of lava flows.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Eocene : 44 Ma to 34 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
