A Overview of the Tierwis-Grauchopf section of the lower part of the Schrattenkalk Formation from the car cable. The lowermost unit S1 overlains the Drusberg Member (Tierwis Formation) and is topped by the Rawil Member. B Focus on the oysters-bearing bioclastic facies from the base of the cliff of unit S1. C Focus on the coralliferous facies of the middle interval of unit S1. D Focus on the Agriopleura-bearing beds the upper part of unit S1. E Focus on the strongly karstified surface at the top of unit S1. The epikarst is covered by a red palaeosol bearing many reworked pebbles and fragments of rudist shells
