Around Adnet, which is located about 3 km NE of Hallein, numerous quarries are working a resistant liassic limestone ('Adnet marble') of reddish colour, used for carving and as a construction material. In some of the quarries, copper and manganese mineralizations were observed on its cleaving planes.

Quarries are numbered by Roman numbers according to Kieslinger (1964).
