Road profiles Am Stein, Löwe am Stein near Würzburg		663A001	Wurzburg position	Western Franconian Plates	An eyrie and several antithetical faults are excellently exposed in the street profile. The offset amounts and dragging can be easily recognized using guide horizons (e.g. 2nd foam lime bank). The outcrop is on a four-lane main road and is not accessible, but can be seen from the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road.	600 600 × 1	Type: Fault, layer sequence Type: Limestone	embankment	precious	no protected area

The first foam lime bank shows noticeable fluctuations in thickness in the outcrop area and wedges out in places. The second lime bank is of normal thickness and emerges as a cornice.
