Bleicherode – Stadtrodaer clod
The Bleicherode – Stadtrodaer Scholle is located entirely in Thuringia , north-east central of the four Hercynian , ie from northwest to southeast running main clods in the area of the Thuringian Basin and its edge plates .
Its northwestern part of Bleicherode – Sömmerdaer Scholle, which occupies about two thirds of the total area, extends from the center of the Ohm Mountains over its southeastern foothills Bleicheröder Mountains near Bleicherode (both shell limestone ) and the southwestern slope of both in the southeast of the Lower Eichsfeld ( red sandstone ) into the shell limestone of higher elevations central and eastern Dün and the Hainleite and finally to the Keuper of the Thuringian Basin near Sömmerda , to meet the Apolda fault zone in the Keuper near Apolda on the other side of the Ettersberg Muschelkalk ridge .
The sub-floes that adjoin to the south-east are relatively homogeneous:
The Jena plaice around Jena represents the north-eastern part of the Ilm-Saale-Platte (shell limestone), which crosses the Saale here at the Wöllmisse , the Horseshoe and the Tautenburger Wald ; beyond the Stadtroda fault zone near Stadtroda finally follows the Münchenbernsdorfer Scholle around Münchenbernsdorf , which represents the north-eastern part of the Saale-Elster sandstone slab and finally meets the East Thuringian slate mountains near Weida .
Limitations
To the southwest, the Bleicherode – Stadtrodaer Scholle is bounded by the Schlotheim – Leuchtenburg fault zone , beyond which the Mühlhausen – Orlamünder Scholle of the southwest Thuringian Basin connects; To the northwest it borders on the Ohmgebirgs graben zone , which separates it from the Eichsfeld plaice . To the northeast it borders on the Finns fault zone , beyond which the Hermundurian plaice , which seals off the Thuringian Basin, connects.
