List of geotopes in the Augsburg district

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list contains the geotopes of the Swabian district of Augsburg in Bavaria . The list contains the official names and numbers of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) as well as their geographical location. This list may not be complete. Around 3,400 geotopes (as of March 2020) are recorded in the Bavarian geotope register. The LfU does not consider some geotopes suitable for publication on the Internet. For example, some objects are not safely accessible or may only be entered to a limited extent for other reasons.

 772A007 Spelled shards
position 		Iller-Lech region A profile from the fine sands of the Upper Freshwater Molasse through Lower Cover Gravel, clayey silty floodplain sediments to shale coals and overlaid, gelled loess loam. An important information of supraregional importance for the Pleistocene of the northern foothills of the Alps. The outcrop was examined by paleomagnetic, pollen analysis, paleobotanical and soil science. 1500

Former Sand and gravel pit NE of Gablingen 772A014 Gablingen
position 		Iller-Lech region The outcrop shows cracked glacial high terrace gravel underlain by Miocene fine sands. The gravel wedges to the west. 750

Type: gravel, sand 		Gravel pit / sand pit significant no protected area
Former Gravel pit ENE from Weiherhof 772A015 Gessertshausen
position 		Iller-Lech region In the former gravel pit, individual abri-like Nagelfluhstotzen up to 3 m high and 8 m wide can be seen. Layered structures are sometimes weathered horizontally in layers. The majority of the former pit is overgrown or partially filled. The ballast forms morphologically protruding knolls. On the way to the pit, underlying tertiary freshwater molasses is exposed in places. 4000

Type: Conglomerate 		Gravel pit / sand pit significant Landscape protection area, nature park
Deckenschotter-Nagelfluh at Ziegelberg SE from Konradshofen 772A016 Scherstetten
position 		Iller-Lech region There is an abandoned gravel pit on the heights of the Ziegelberg, southeast of Konradshofen. There are pillars of nagelfluh-like baked, probably Old Pleistocene ceiling gravel that protrude from the largely buried pit wall. The gravel is covered with loess clay and floating earth. About half of the upper surface layer consists of loess loam (main layer). Geological organs were not open in 2001! 1400

Ore mining sites N of Biburg 772G002 Diedorf
position 		Iller-Lech region On an east-west stretch of approx. 1.5 km in length, prehistoric iron mining sites can be found on the elongated ridge between Dachsberg and Forstberg in the forest east of Hainhofen. The funnel pits have a diameter of up to 4 m and a depth of up to 1.5 m. If there is no undergrowth or moss, the structures are easy to see. The digs are deepened in old Pleistocene gravel and originally reached down to the molasses sediments. As is known from similar fields, concretionary iron deposits have been deposited. The geotope is under protection as a ground monument (monument no. D-7-7630-0007). 750000

Type: Gravel 		no information significant Soil monument, landscape protection area, nature park
Schmuttertal N of Hirblingen 772R001 Gersthofen
position 		Iller-Lech region The erosion terrace of the Schmutter lies in sediments of the Upper Freshwater Molasse. The upper parts of the slope may also be in crack gravel. 16000

Terraces between Stettenhofen and Gersthofen 772R002 Langweid am Lech
position 		Iller-Lech region The cracked glacial high terrace lies morphologically above worm and postglacial deposits. 14000

Beaver ice age gravel on the Staufersberg 772R004 Bonstetten
position 		Iller-Lech region The Staufenberg is the highest elevation in the wide area. On top of this are 3 to 4 m thick gravel packages from the beaver ice age. The Ice Age is named after the stream, the beaver, that rises on this mountain. A geological nature trail explains how the landscape was created. 10440000
