Age and depositional environment of the Kuhfeld Beds (Lower Cretaceous) in the Alstatte Embayment (W Germany, E Netherlands)
article
Major parts of the Lower Cretaceous Kuhfeld Beds as present in the Alstatte Embayment, Dutch-German border area, have a marine origin and were not exclusively deposited in a limnic-terrestrial setting as previously thought. For the first time, direct fossil evidence is available. This dates the base of the formation as transitional Ryazanian-Valanginian and indicates a late Early-Late Hauterivian age higher in the formation. -Authors
