Basement (geology)

In geology, basement and crystalline basement are crystalline rocks lying above the mantle and beneath all other rocks and sediments.

See South German Jurassic and Basement (geology)

Black Jurassic

The Black Jurassic or Black Jura (Schwarzer Jura) in earth history refers to the lowest of the three lithostratigraphic units of the South German Jurassic, the latter being understood not as a geographical, but a geological term in the sense of a lithostratigraphic super group. South German Jurassic and Black Jurassic are Jurassic System of Europe.

Brown Jurassic

The Brown Jurassic or Brown Jura (Brauner Jura or Braunjura) in earth history refers to the middle of the three lithostratigraphic units of the South German Jurassic, the latter being understood not as a geographical, but a geological term in the sense of a lithostratigraphic super group. South German Jurassic and Brown Jurassic are Jurassic System of Europe.

Cenomanian

The Cenomanian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy's (ICS) geological timescale, the oldest or earliest age of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or the lowest stage of the Upper Cretaceous Series.

Chronostratigraphy

Chronostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy that studies the ages of rock strata in relation to time.

See South German Jurassic and Chronostratigraphy

Cretaceous

The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).

See South German Jurassic and Cretaceous

History of Earth

The history of Earth concerns the development of planet Earth from its formation to the present day.

Jurassic

The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.

Keuper

The Keuper is a lithostratigraphic unit (a sequence of rock strata) in the subsurface of large parts of west and central Europe.

See South German Jurassic and Keuper

Late Jurassic

The Late Jurassic is the third epoch of the Jurassic Period, and it spans the geologic time from 161.5 ± 1.0 to 145.0 ± 0.8 million years ago (Ma), which is preserved in Upper Jurassic strata.

Lithostratigraphy

Lithostratigraphy is a sub-discipline of stratigraphy, the geological science associated with the study of strata or rock layers.

See South German Jurassic and Lithostratigraphy

Molasse

In geology, "molasse" are sandstones, shales and conglomerates that form as terrestrial or shallow marine deposits in front of rising mountain chains.

See South German Jurassic and Molasse

Paleogene

The Paleogene Period (also spelled Palaeogene or Palæogene) is a geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Neogene Period Ma.

See South German Jurassic and Paleogene

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation.

See South German Jurassic and Sedimentary rock

Stratigraphic unit

A stratigraphic unit is a volume of rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrographic, lithologic or paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it.

See South German Jurassic and Stratigraphic unit

White Jurassic

The White Jurassic or White Jura (Weißer Jura or Weißjura) in earth history refers to the upper of the three lithostratigraphic units of the South German Jurassic, the latter being understood not as a geographical, but a geological term in the sense of a lithostratigraphic super group. South German Jurassic and White Jurassic are Jurassic System of Europe.
