Overview

Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 1: With Which Is Incorporated the Geologist, Nos; CCCLV. To CCCLXVI.; January December, 1894 Dachstein dolomite, well stratified and often of very great thickness, builds the highest terraces and precipices. The Cassian, Wengen and Buchenstein sedimentary beds are exposed on the passes between reefs, on their lower slopes, and over the large meadows which the people of the place call Alpen. The Muschelkalk and Werfen series form the bed of the streams in the rapidly descend ing mountain valleys. It may be at once remarked that typical fossils have been found in all members of the succession. In the reef-dolomite fossil remains are extremely poor and scanty; plant algae are got even more often than Corals, Gasteropods, or Bivalves. Ammonites occur, but usually in too meagre a state of preservation to be of much service in identifying the age of the rock.
