Solling Formation (Germany) |
The Solling Formation is a geologic formation in Germany.[1] Formerly considered earliest Triassic (Induan), but later dating places the formation from the Olenekian to Anisian of the Triassic period.
Description[]
The formation is subdivided into three members, the lower Solling-Bausandstein Member, the Trendelburg/Karlshafen Beds and the upper Chirotherium Sandstone Member.
Fossil content[]
The following fossils have been reported from the formation:[1]
Temnospondyls[]
Reptiles[]
- Anomoiodon liliensterni[3]
- Ctenosauriscus koeneni[4]
- Koiloskiosaurus coburgiensis[5]
- Trachelosaurus fischeri[6]
