| St Margarethen - Layer A (Granulolabium bicinctum assemblage) | Harzhauser M., Kowalke T. (2002) | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Currently, an about 30-m-thick succession of gravel, marly sand and scattered detritic limestones is exposed at the section "Zollhaus". The sediments in the lower part of the section represent the ecostratigraphic molluscan zone "Mactra Zone" of the Late Sarmatian (zonation sensu Papp,1954). THICKNESS: AGE: Sarmatian (Late Middle Miocene). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From group of beds in lower part of section. | claystone | 12.7 - 11.608 Ma Miocene | |
| St Margarethen - Layer A (Potamides disjunctus assemblage) | Harzhauser M., Kowalke T.
