Former limestone quarry near Rieden 371A001 Ensdorf
position 		Middle Franconian Alb The outcrops on the embankment of Vilstalstrasse are the remains of the former limestone quarry. You can see the limestones of the Malm alpha and beta in bank facies. Most of the areas are now almost completely overgrown, but a section directly on the bike path still gives a good insight into the typical structure of the layers: 1 - 2 dm thick limestone banks alternate with thin layers of fine-leaved marl. According to modern nomenclature, the rocks of the outcrop are placed in the Hartmannshof Formation (Middle Oxfordian - Lower Kimmeridgian). 300
