| description | The Devonian reef limestone complex of Rösenbeck near
Brilon (Rhenish Mountains) shows numerous neptunian dykes and other
hollows
which have been filled with Carboniferous siliciclastic as well as
fossil-rich carbonate sediments with ammonoids, conodonts, and chondrichthyan
fish. While the shales of the infill can be interpreted as autochthonous
sediments, the carbonates represent erratic blocks of sediments which were
deposited in elevated areas but subsequently eroded and transported as
erratic blocks into the karstic cavities. The biota of the carbonates
demonstrates that two stratigraphic intervals are represented: (1) the
Tournaisian–Viséan boundary interval, which can be identified by the
presence of trilobites, and (2) the late Viséan (Asbian–Brigantian),
proven by the presence of ammonoids and conodonts embedded in shales that
probably have an early Serpukhovian age. Two carbonate facies can be
distinguished in the Late Viséan blocks: (1) low-energy micritic
sediments with <i>Goniatites crenistria</i>, which are probably
equivalent to the <i>crenistria</i> Limestone and (2)
high-energy (tempestite) sediments with numerous ammonoid specimens and in a
more subordinate role other to fossil groups. |
