Sedimentation phenomena in Kulm and Floezleeres graywackes, Sauerland and Oberharz, Germany

Abstract

"Sedimentary structures and current-direction phenomena of the Kulm (lower Carboniferous) and Floezleeres (upper Carboniferous) graywackes of the eastern Rhenish Schiefergebirge (Sauerland) and Oberharz areas, central Germany, have been examined in reconnaissance. These rocks are interpreted as deposits made by turbidity currents in a relatively deep marine trough whose deepest portion migrated slowly northwestward across the geosynclinal tract."
