TY - JOUR A1 - Arp, Gernot T1 - Sediments of the Ries Crater Lake (Miocene, Southern Germany). Y1 - 2006 VL - 45 SP - 213 EP - 236 JF - Schriftenreihe der deutschen Gesellschaft für Geowissenschaften DO - 10.23689/fidgeo-2785 N2 - This field trip is devoted to the post-impact history of the Nördlinger Ries with focus on its carbonate lake sediments. We will explore major facies belts of the Ries crater lake, including basinal shales, littoral carbonate grainstones, dolomitic algal bioherms, sublacustrine spring mounds, carbonate floodplains, deltaic deposits and late freshwater limestones. Special emphasis is taken on fossil algae (green algae, charophytes, cyanobacteria), rhythms and cycles of bioherm growth, the genesis of microbialites in relation to climate and lake water chemistry, and paleosol formation in carbonate swamps.
