Status
Formal (Van Adrichem Boogaert & Kouwe 1994).
Lithologische beschrijving
Light-coloured, massive or cross-bedded, and dolomite-cemented, sandstone interval.
Afzettingsmilieu
Fluvial (braided river) and eolian.
Definitie ondergrens
Not yet defined. Along the basin margin, where sandy sediments prevail, it may be difficult to distinguish the boundary between the underlying Main Buntsandstein Subgroup and the Basal Solling Sandstone Member. This is particularly true for well sections that are studied in isolation. ln such cases it is possible to lump the formations (Volpriehausen, Detfurth and Hardegsen) together with the Basal Solling Sandstone Member into the informal middle Bunter sandstone (RBBM).
Dikte indicatie
Locally exceeds 10 m in thickness.
Regionale correlatie
UK: ?; GER: Solling Formation; BEL: Solling Formation.
Ouderdom
latest Olenekian - earliest Anisian.
