Lithologische beschrijving
Claystone. Where the boundary between the Middle Muschelkalk Marl Member and the Upper Muschelkalk Member tends to become obscure, e.g. in the southern onshore and the western offshore, as a result of a decrease in carbonate content of the latter member, the upper two members can be lumped into a larger unit, informally called the Muschelkalk Claystone member.
