Former clay pit E von Langenzenn 573A001 Langenzenn
position 		Sandstone Keuper Region Stone marl banks and a red Letten parcel in the Lehrbergschichten are open-minded. There are several clay pits in the vicinity of the geotope, some of which are still in operation and some of which are in danger of being lost due to subsequent uses. During an inspection in 2010, the geotope was completely overgrown and the rock was only visible in erosion channels. 2000
