Stratigraphic profile of the eastern Jura Mountains and the autochthonous sediment cover of the Aar Massif. Formation names in bold indicate the studied iron oolite deposits. The Herznach area corresponds to the eastern facies type of the Jura Mountains; the Windgällen area to the northern facies type (autochthonous), and the Erzegg area to the intermediate facies type of the Axen nappe. The sediment thickness increases towards more southerly paleopositions in the Aar Massif, which is most likely due to increased subsidence in southern regions (Gisler et al., 2020). Modified after Diebold et al. (2005, 2006), Gisler and Spillmann (2011), Gisler et al. (2020), Wohlwend et al. (2022)
