Between the magnificent southern walls of the Dachstein Massif and the scenic alpine summits of the Schladming Tauern you will find idyllic alpine valleys abloom with life, clear streams and mountain lakes, colourful forests, golden light and countless mountain peaks seemingly close enough to touch - The International Fossil Algae Association, and the Department of Applied Geosciences and Geophysics, Montanuniversitaet Leoben (Austria) invite you to the 7th European Sympo-sium on Fossil Algae, to be held in

Schladming/Austria, on 9th - 11th September 2013

This symposium is parallel organized with the 11th Workshop on Alpine Geological Studies (Alpine Workshop 2013), both hosted at the Congress-Schladming.

Celtic tribes (the Alauni, Sevater and Taurisci) overran the Enns valley in discovering the mineral resources. Romanised Germans and Slavic tribes came in the second wave of somewhere for mining activities in the Tauern valleys. “Slaebnich” was founded in the year 1180 - mainly based on a booming mining industry. The exploration and exploitation of polymetallic ores (silver-enriched lead/zinc and silver-enriched chalkopyrit- and fahlerz deposits, Cu-(Co-, Ni-) ores and in veins Ni-, Co-, Bi- and Ag) stood certainly for wealth and economic influence between the 14th to 16th century. Outside influences ended this time of prosperity ruggedly and dramatically. Later, mining was reactivated but did not bring back the former wealth. Remnants of the town gate, town walls, smelters and mines attest the history of this region. With the construction of the railway through the Enns valley in the year 1875 began the triumphal entry of tourism in this region. But, most of the countryside is still untouched by human hand.

The Enns valley separates the Northern Calcareous Alps with its Triassic and Jurassic shallow-water carbonate platforms to the north from the crystalline and Palaeozoic units to the south. Schladming becomes an ideal starting point for field trips either to the Northern Calcareous Alps as well as to the Graz Palaeozoic, both with classical localities for calcareous algae, microencrusters and microbial carbonates. In addition, Schladming provides an ideal locality for field trips dealing with the evolution of the Eastern Alps, an unique orogen with a geological history which mirrors the history of the opening and closure of at least two oceanic domains: The Tethys and the Atlantic oceanic realms with their classical margin evolutions inspiring palaeontological and geological studies worldwide.

The 7th European Symposium on Fossil Algae and the 11th Workshop on Alpine Geological Studies offer a unique opportu-nity to highlight this historical legacy in a broad interdisciplinary Scientific programme with an exciting range of Pre- and Post-meeting Field trips, which are being organized with important contributions from our Austrian partners and input from our Slovenian neighbours. An Exhibition and Leisure options will be other features.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Schladming.

Yours sincerely,

Climate

The Schladming-Dachstein region has a moderate four-season climate, with variations in temperature between the seasons and from one locale to another. Schladming (47°24’N 13°41’E | 745 metres above sea-level) has pleasant and mild climate in the autumn. Occasionally the weather becomes cool and windy. Note that the northern side of the Eastern Alps can have up to 2.500 millimetres precipitation/year. Because the weather in the autumn can be unpredictable it is a good idea to bring a warm (water-proof) jacket and clothing that can be layered.

Congress-Schladming

In the context of the FIS Alpine Ski World Championship 2013 the Media Centre was currently built in Schladming. The energetic concept which is defined by several eco-logical benefits represents the Austrian know-how towards environmental and present climate issues. Wood and local products strongly influence the interior design and cre-ate a special atmosphere which is affected by the surprising view on the attractive land-scape. The Congress-Schladming has 7 convention rooms with capacities from 30 up to 1.400 persons. The impressive panorama as well as the inviting construction with its open architecture, equipped with the best available technology guaranties a great ex-perience in the Congress-Schladming. For the participants coming by car free parking at Congress-Schladming is included.

The overall themes are open for all contributions dealing with different biological processes influencing carbonate pro-duction/precipitation. The controlling factors giving way to carbonate production and precipitation are still a matter of controversial discussions, but important in their understanding to forecast the actual changing situation of the earth. Many triggering factors and their interplay influence the carbonate system in general. Environmental factors for algae, enigmatic bio-consortia of microencruster frameworks and the role of microbial carbonates still lack in detailed information, e.g. detailed palaeontological and ecological studies. Beside studies on ancient and recent systems also contributions on the carbonate system in general are welcome.

Authors are invited to present their work as oral or poster presentations. A maximum of two contemporaneous sessions will be run at the same time, with at least one keynote lecture of general interest each day. The organizers will place particular emphasis on providing prominent space and time within the conference schedule for the poster presentations.

Proposed symposium themesIf you are interested in proposing or chairing sessions within these themes, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.

Theme 1: Calcareous algae

T1 Topics related to calcareous algae in general

T1S2 Fossil geniculate coralline algae from the Early Cretaceous to the Holocene Conveners: Pradeep Kundal [email protected] (Nagpur, India), Shyam Kishore (Lucknow, India)

Corallines or coralline algae are carbonate secreting and strongly calcified red algae of the order Corallinales of division Rhodophyta. Architecturally, the corallines have two groups, the nongeniculate and geniculate coralline forms. Corallines are used as a potential tool for paleoecology, paleoenvironments and paleobathymetry. Coralline algae are builder of po-rous and permeable carbonate reservoir rocks for hydrocarbon and reefs rich in hydrocarbon. The earliest confirmed fossil record of coralline algae is from the Hauterivian (Early Cretaceous) and from the Hauterivian to the Pleistocene 7 genicu-late genera, viz. Amphiroa, Arthrocardia, Calliarthron, Corallina, Jania, Metagoniolithon and Subterraniphyllum having different stratigraphic ranges are unequivocally known as fossils. All the geniculate coralline algae have erect and branched growth from having calcified segments (intergenicula) connected/articulated/jointed together by uncalcified segments (genicula). Individuals segments vary in shape from cylindrical to flattened. The uncalcified genicula promote postmortem disarticula-tion of calcified intergenicula. These disarticulated intergenicula are difficult to identify and geniculate forms have a cor-respondingly poor fossil records. Upon death the intergenicula are disarticulated and consequently fossils occur generally as separate integenicula but occasionally the genicula may be preserved. However several authors have documented rich fossil geniculate assemblages from various ages. Morphology of coralline algae is indicative of certain energy conditions as coralline algae growing in high-energy conditions have robust fused framework with thick crusts, branches and columns, while the coralline algae growing in moderate-energy conditions have delicate framework with thin branches and crusts. In the proposed session, an overview of fossil geniculate coralline algae recorded from different parts of the world will be deliberated. In addition, the usefulness of fossil geniculate algae will be discussed.

Excursion A1: Southern Alps of Slovenia in a nutshell: Palaeogeography, tectonics and active deformation

B. Celarc [email protected], M. Vrabec, P. Kralj, B. Rozic, P. Jamsek (all Ljubljana/Slovenia)

Duration: 3 days: 07-09 September 2013

Includes: field trip guidebook, transportation, accommodation with breakfast, lunch packets, dinner

Price: double room 360 Euro/person single room 430 Euro/person

Participants: Minimum 15, Maximum 30

Day 1: Mt. Sleme above Vrsic Pass: All described successions, facies geometry and thrust contacts are visible from small peak of Sleme, about 1h walk from Vrsic Pass.Mt. Prisojnik: Late Anisian drowning and formation of small-scale halfgrabens. Rifting related extensional tectonics with coeval volcanism. Seismic scale facies architecture is visible in the NW face of the Mt. Prisojnik: from shallow-water bedded peritidal and massive Anisian limestone, dissection and partial drowning, deposition of the radiolarian-rich Illyrian limestones, rhyolites, Buchenstein formation and prograding Schlern formation, which fill-up halfgrabens. Thinning and pinching-out of the halfgraben basin-fill.Mt. Skrlatica: Late Carnian drowning, deposition of the Hallstatt-type limestones and progradation of the Dachstein-type carbonate platform. Late Triassic platform - basin evolution is similar as in the Northern Calcareous Alps, the prograding geometry is spectacularly exposed in the mountain face striking parallel to the platform progradation. Reef limestones in-terfinger with basinal limestones. Tidal flat Lofer-type cyclic Dachstein limestones onlap reef crest. The margin is younger in the NE direction, in the NE edge of the Julian Alps it is Early Norian and in Kamnik - Savinja Alps further to the East, Late Norian.Tamar Valley: Dachstein Limestone thrusted along Alpine Resia N-verging backthrust on to the Late Carnian - Norian - Rhaetian basinal interval. Lover parts of Mt. Mojstrovka and Mt. Travnik is composed of the thick succession of the Norian basinal dolomites with chert nodules, which represent lateral equivalent of the prograding margin of the Main Dolomite in Cave del Predil/Raibl area (Italy). Mountain peaks, built of Dachstein Limestone are thrusted on basinal sediments along Neogene N-verging South Alpine Resia back-thrust that extend from Italy (N from Canin).

Day 2:Sava fault near Zirovnica: The dextral strike-slip Sava fault, a branch of the Periadriatic fault system, displaces Mesozoic units of the Julian and Kamnik Alps for several 10s of kms. Geodetic measurements and offset geomorphic markers indi-cate that the fault activity continues into Quaternary-Recent times. An outstanding topographical expression of the fault is visible along the entire northern portion of its trace, where the fault separates the transpressionaly uplifted Karavanke mountain chain from the rectangular Quaternary depression, probably a pull-apart related to Sava fault motion.Mt. Kobla area: Southern Alps of Slovenia are composed of two large-scale thrust units. The structurally higher unit, the Julian Nappe, is made of rocks of the Mesozoic Julian Carbonate Platform. The Julian Nappe overthrusts the Tolmin Nappe, which consists of deepwater successions palaeogeographically belonging to the Mesozoic Slovenian Basin that was positioned south of the Julian Carbonate Platform. The successions of both units outcrop on the Mt. Kobla in the Bohinj Range, the southern orographic boundary of Julian Alps. Excursion will follow a mountain path, which provides excellent overview of the thrusted units, and crosses most of the stratigraphic units of the area. In the Late Triassic the Julian Carbonate Platform was dominated by the sedimentation on tidal flats and lagoons (Dachstein-type limestone) and was surrounded by extensive coral reefs. After the Triassic/Jurassic Boundary crisis the platform turned into more opened carbonate shelf characterized by the sedimentation on ooidal shoals. In the Pliensbachian the subsidence of the JCP accelerated and bioclastic limestone start to deposit in the deeper shelf sedimentary environment. All these changes are intimately reflected in the composition of the resedimented limestones that dominate the simultaneous basinal successions. In the Rhaetian they contain rich reef-derived fauna, change to resedimented ooidal/peloidal calcarenites in the early Jurassic to turn into Pliensbachian crinoidal/lithoclastic resediments. The drowning of the Julian Carbonate Platform that happened probably already in the Toarcian is directly reflected in the basinal succession that is afterwards characterized solely by pelagic deposits, whereas platform-derived resediments disappear completely. At the end of Juras-sic the palaeotopography of the entire area was flattened because both units are characterized by the sedimentation of the Biancone type limestone.Vodice fault: A prominent, up to 10 m high linear scarp runs in the WSW-ENE direction across the central part of the Quaternary Ljubljana-Kranj basin, close to the town of Vodice. The investigation of geomorphic markers, supported by

12

geophysical profiling and trenching revealed that the scarp is related to a moderately steeply dipping reverse fault that was active in Quaternary. The Vodice fault may present a major seismic hazard for the heavily populated Ljubljana region, which already experienced a devastating earthquake in 1896.

Day 3:Oligocene Smrekovec stratovolcano, Periadriatic Line, Smrekovec Volcanic Complex: Volcanic activity that created the Smrekovec Volcanic Complex (SVC) is considered to be post-collisional and related to slab break-off processes. It occurred in the initial stage of the extensional evolution of the Pannonian Basin during the activation of the Periadriatic Line. Magmas that erupted in the SVC show calc-alkaline and medium-K affinity and produced a suite ranging in composi-tion from balsaltic andesite to dacite. The SVC is a remain of a larger submarine stratovolcano edifice composed of lavas and shallow intrusive bodies, autoclastic deposits, resedimented hyaloclastite deposits, pyroclastic deposits, volcaniclastic debris flow deposits, volcaniclastic turbidite deposits and mixed volcaniclastic-siliciclastic deposits.The Ramsak Section: About 100 m thick continuous outcrop along a road accessible by foot shows diversely developed lithofacies of pyroclastic deposits, volcaniclastic debris flow and turbidite deposits, autoclastic deposits and peperites.Krnes and Komen (northern slopes): Outcrops of andesite lavas, hydrothermal alteration (zeolites). Along the road to the Smrekovec Summit, several small outcroppings are seen and optional short can be arranged with lithofacies explana-tion. Periadriatic Line: The easternmost outcropping part of the Periadriatic fault, located in northern Slovenia, is a several kms wide zone of elongate shear lenses of various metamorphic and magmatic rocks. A synkinematic tonalite intrusion (the Karawanken pluton) was emplaced along the fault. The narrow and subvertical magmatic body follows the strike of the Periadriatic fault for about 40 km. Prominent fault-parallel foliation and flattened mafic enclaves in the host rock suggest significant shortening, probably of transpressive origin, both in magmatic and post-magmatic stage.The tonalite body is bound to the south by the brittle Smrekovec fault, which reflects the late-stage evolution of the eastern part of Periadriatic fault system. Late Miocene to up to Quaternary activity is evidenced on faults that continue from or branch off the main Periadriatic fault, and GPS measurements indicate active dextral slip along the fault zone. Excursion will cross the Periadriatic fault and will stop at outcrops in the Smrekovec fault zone and in the tonalite body.

Excursion A2: Structural evolution of the Silvretta-Seckau nappe system in the area of the Schladminger Tauern

W. Kurz [email protected], H. Fritz (both Graz/Austria)


Includes: field trip guidebook, transportation, accommodation in an alpine hut with breakfast, dinner

Price: 80 Euro/person


The topic of this field trip is to visit and understand the structure of the Austroalpine nappes northeast of the Tauern Win-dow. The excursion will start and end in Schladming. A transfer by minibuses to the Ursprungalm will be provided. From there, a cross section exposing the Silvretta-Seckau nappes will be discussed during a two day walking tour. This, however, requires good weather conditions as well as experience in alpine regions.In the area of the Schladminger and Radstaedter Tauern the Austroalpine nappes generally comprise a pre-Alpine basement and a Permian to Mesozoic cover. Both are overprinted by low grade Eoalpine metamorphism. The basement units are ad-ditionally characterized by a pre-Alpine amphibolite facies metamorphic evolution. The Silvretta-Seckau nappe system in the area of the Schladminger Tauern is subdivided into 2 sub-units (Golling Complex and Riesach Complex). In the field trip area, the units of the Golling Complex are exposed. This Complex can be subdivided into two nappes. Within the higher unit, exposed in the area of the Giglachsee, the basement and the cover sequences are mainly inverted. An inverted sequence of probably Permian meta-conglomerates, quartz phyllites, quartzites and lower Triassic carbonates is exposed below pre-Alpine amphibolite facies metamorphic basement units. The basement-cover contact is overprinted and sheared at greenschist facies metamorphic conditions. The Triassic platform carbonates are well exposed in the area of the Steirische and Lungauer Kalkspitze (2456 m and 2470 m, respectively) .Within the lower unit, exposed in the area of the Oberhuettensee, a normal sequence of Permian to probably Triassic meta-sediments discordantly overlies a pre-Alpine basement. Also here, the basement (orthogneisses, paragneisses, amphibolites) is characterised by a pre-Alpine metamorphic evolution at amphibolite facies conditions, and by greenschist facies Eoalpine metamorphic overprint.Subsequent to top-to-the NW nappe stacking, the nappe edifice is crosscut by east- dipping low-angle normal shear zones, most probably related to syn-orogenic extension during late Cretaceous times.

What you will see:The excursion is planned as a two days walking tour starting and ending at the Ursprungalm (1640 m). Transfer with mini-buses from and to Schladming will be provided. The walking tour will be mainly along alpine hiking trails. Distinct section along the trails can be quite steep. We therefore recommend that only persons with experience in alpine mountainous areas should register for the field trip. From the Ursprungalm the tour will go up to the area of the Giglachsee (1900 m), and to the Lungauer Kalkspitze (2470 m). Accommodation will be at the Oberhuette (1860 m). On day two, exposures in the area of the Oberhuettensee will be discussed. From there, the tour will go back to the Ursprungalm.

Excursion A3: Triassic to Early Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates in the central Northern Calcareous Alps (Northwestern Tethyan realm)

H.-J. Gawlick [email protected] (Leoben/Austria), F. Schlagintweit (Munich/Germany), S. Missoni (Leoben/Austria), R. Lein (Vienna/Austria)


Includes: field trip guidebook, transportation, lunch packets, accommodation with breakfast and dinner in the Sporthotel Royer ****Superior

Price: double room 350 EURO/person single room 380 EURO/person


The Triassic to Early Cretaceous sedimentary evolution in the northwestern Tethyan realm, very well preserved in the cen-tral Northern Calcareous Alps (Salzburg and Berchtesgaden Calcareous Alps, Salzkammergut region), is characterized by a complete Wilson cycle. After siliciclastic dominated Early Triassic sedimentation intense shallow-water carbonate produc-tion started around the Early/Middle Triassic boundary. Early/Middle Anisian shallow-water carbonates were deposited first under restricted (Gutenstein carbonate ramp) and later under more open marine conditions (Steinalm carbonate ramp). Late Anisian break-up of the Neotethys Ocean led to the drowning of these shallow-water ramp deposits. In the Ladinian again shallow-water carbonates start to form, and results in the complex Ladinian to early Carnian platform - ba-sin pattern (Wetterstein carbonate platform). After the partial drowning of this platform by siliciclastic input in the Late Carnian again shallow-water carbonate production starts and resulted in the huge Norian Hauptdolomit/Dachstein Lime-stone carbonate platform, with its classical lagoonal sediments - restricted lagoon (Hauptdolomit), open lagoon (Dachstein Limestone with Lofer cycles) - the reefs belt and its transition to the open shelf area (Hallstatt facies). In the Rhaetian the carbonate factories were again influenced by siliciclastic input, and resulted in the formation of a deepened lagoon.In the Jurassic deep-water sediments are dominant: The Jurassic sedimentation in this realm is controlled by the palaeo-geographic position of the depositional area between two oceans: the Neotethys Ocean to the east resp. southeast and the Alpine Atlantic to the west resp. northwest. The opening of the Central Atlantic Ocean with its continuation into the Alpine Atlantic (= Ligurian-Penninic Ocean) leads to a new Mediterranean plate configuration. The “Apulian” plate is formed. Successive spreading of the Alpine Atlantic is mirrored by the closure of parts of the Neotethys Ocean resulting in an early deformation of a former Triassic carbonate shelf since late Early Jurassic time. The former Triassic to Early Jurassic passive continental margin with its huge Triassic carbonate platforms came in a lower plate position and a thin-skinned orogen was formed. In the Late Jurassic to Earliest Cretaceous this mountain building process is sealed by the onset of shallow-water carbonate platforms.

Excursion B1: Cross section from the Austroalpine nappes to the Penninic and Subpenninic nappes of the Tauern Window

M. Handy (Berlin/Germany), R. Schuster [email protected] (Vienna/Austria), W. Kurz (Graz/Austria), H. Fritz (Graz/Austria)





The topic of this field trip is to visit and understand the structure of the Austroalpine nappes east of the Tauern Window, and the structure of Penninic and Subpenninic nappes within the Tauern Window. The Tauern Window of the Eastern Alps exposes exhumed parts of Europe-derived crust that were accreted to the base of an Adria-derived upper plate, represented today by the Austroalpine nappes.This excursion will provide a cross section from the Austroalpine nappes east of the Tauern Window across the Eastern margin of the Tauern Window (Katschberg fault) into the central parts of the eastern Tauern Window.

The Austroalpine nappes in the field trip area comprise from bottom:• The Bundschuh nappes system: Pre-Alpine metamorphic basement (paragneisses, orthogneisses, metapelites), overlain

by a Permian to Triassic cover (meta-conglomerates, quartzites, dolomites). The sedimentary contact is tectonically re-activated by a low-angle normal fault.

• The Phyllonite Zone: Strongly retrogressed phyllites, overlain by Palaeozoic carbonates. This unit was interpreted by Tollmann as the base of the Upper Austroalpine nappe system. The phyllonites, however, now mark low-angle detach-ment, related to Late Cretaceous extension.

• The Pfannock unit: This unit comprises a pre-Alpine basement of orthogneisses (Pfannock Gneiss), covered by an partly inverted sequence of Carboniferous and Permian conglomerates, Permian to Triassic sandstones (Werfen Formation), and Triassic (Anisian to Carnian) carbonates.

• The Gurktal nappe: In the field trip area, this unit consists of Paleozoic phyllites, greenschists and dolomites.The nappe contacts (top-to-the W emplacement) are pervasively overprinted by extensional shear zones with top-to-the SE displacement. The present-day architecture of the Tauern Window is primarily characterized by a crustal scale duplex, the Venediger Duplex, formed during the Oligocene, and severely overprinted by doming and lateral extrusion during the Miocene. This Miocene evolution was most probably triggered by the indentation of the Southalpine Units initiating at around 20 Ma and linked to a lithosphere-scale reorganization of the geometry of mantle slabs. The accretion of European lithosphere (Subpenninic nappes) and oceanic domains (Penninic nappes) to the Adriatic (Austroalpine) upper plate, accompanied by high-pressure overprint of some of the units of the Tauern Window, has a long history, starting in Turonian times (around 90 Ma) and culminating in Lutetian to Bartonian time (45-37 Ma).

What you will see:The excursion will start and end in Schladming. Accommodation will be in Gmuend (travel time from Schladming approxi-mately 45 minutes). Day one will cover the Austroalpine nappe system east of the Tauern Window. At good weather condi-tions a walking tour with a complete cross section from the Bundschuh to the Gurktal Nappe will be planned. Alternative exposure can be visited by bus. Day two will be dedicated to the structural evolution of the Tauern Window including the Katschberg low-angle normal fault along the eastern margin of the Tauern Window.

Excursion B2: Triassic to Early Cretaceous geodynamic history of the central Northern Calcareous Alps (Northwestern Tethyan realm)

H.-J. Gawlick, S. Missoni [email protected] (both Leoben/Austria)





The topic of this field trip is to visit and understand the sedimentary succession from Triassic rifting/drifting to Jurassic collision/accretion in one of the most prominent alpine areas: the Austria’s Northern Calcareous Alps as part of the Eastern Alps formed together with the Carpathians, the Southern Alps and the Dinarides an up to 700 km wide and approximately 1500 km long shelf strip facing the Neotethys Ocean to the east resp. the southeast. The Triassic sedimentation is controlled by Early to early Middle Triassic extension, the break-up of the Neotethys in the early Middle Triassic and the formation of huge carbonate platforms in the late Middle to Late Triassic. The Jurassic sedimentation in this realm is controlled by the palaeogeographic position of the depositional area between two oceans: the Neotethys Ocean to the east resp. southeast and the Alpine Atlantic to the west resp. northwest. The opening of the Central Atlantic Ocean with its continuation into the Alpine Atlantic (= Ligurian-Penninic Ocean) leads to a new Mediterranean plate configuration. The “Apulian” plate is formed. Successive spreading of the Alpine Atlantic is mirrored by the closure of parts of the Neotethys Ocean resulting in an early deformation of a former Triassic carbonate shelf since late Early Jurassic time. Deformation and accretion starts in the Neotethys Ocean with intra-oceanic thrusting in the late Early Jurassic. This thrust-ing process resulted in the obduction of the accreted ophiolites onto the outer shelf in Middle Jurassic times as demon-strated for example in the Dinarides. The former Triassic to Early Jurassic passive continental margin with its huge Triassic carbonate platforms came in a lower plate position and a thin-skinned orogen was formed. Thrusting started therefore in the outer shelf region and propagated to the inner shelf. In the late Middle Jurassic compressional tectonics reached the inner parts of the shelf and affected the Triassic carbonate platforms. Deep-water trench-like basins in front of advancing nappes were formed in sequence, best to study in the central part of the Northern Calcareous Alps. First several trench-like basins formed in the south and later, in the early Late Jurassic, further trench-like basins formed in the north. The trench-like basins accumulated thick successions of gravitatively redeposited sediments derived from the accreted older sedimentary sequences. In the Late Jurassic to Earliest Cretaceous this mountain building process is sealed by the onset of shallow-water carbonate platforms. Shallow-water platform carbonates were formed on top of the nappe stack whereas hemipelagic limestones were deposited in the former radiolaritic trench-like basins. Latest Jurassic uplift of the orogen led to the destruction of this platform/basin pattern and resulted in a diachronous drowning of the platform (central and northern part) resp. uplift and erosion of the platform in the more southern areas. In the Early Cretaceous the remaining basins were filled up by the erosional products of the older nappe stack including material from the obducted ophiolites.

What you will see• The Late Triassic shallow-water carbonate platform: restricted lagoon, open lagoon, reef to open shelf sedimentary rocks. • Formation of a palaeotopography in the latest Triassic due to siliciclastic influence and the response of the carbonate

factories.• Formation of a deep lagoon. • Early Jurassic open marine sediments sealing the Late Triassic palaeotopography (pelagic platform).

• Formation of Middle to early Late Jurassic deep-water radiolaritic trench-like basins due to out-of-sequence thrusting with the deposition of fine-grained organic rich sediments intercalated by olistostromes and huge slides.

• Large scale mass movements from an accretionary wedge in adjacent trench-like basins; each basin fill is characterized by a coarsening-upward cycle.

• Onset of shallow-water carbonate platforms on an uplifted nappe stack, progradation of shallow-water carbonates over older deep-water basins.

• Formation of starved basins in between carbonate platforms as result of the interplay of tectonics and carbonate produc-tion.

• Carbonate platform collapse due mountain uplift associated with extensional tectonics.To see the complete, very complex passive to active continental margin evolution from Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous in the central Northern Calcareous Alps (Salzburg and Berchtesgaden Calcareous Alps). This area is a geological highlight in one of the most classical geological areas of the world.

Excursion B3: Lower to Middle Devonian algal limestones of the Graz Palaeozoic

B. Hubmann [email protected], F. Messner (both Graz/Austria)

Duration: 1 day: 12 September 2013

Includes: field trip guidebook, transportation, lunch

Price: 130 EURO/person


The “Graz Paleozoic” located in eastern Austria (Styria) is isolated from other low metamorphic Paleozoic occurrences in the alpine region by tectonic borders to the north, east and west as well as by its younger overlays in the south.The stratigraphic sequence of the Graz Paleozoic comprises Silurian to Late Carboniferous sediments which occur within a Midcretaceous thrust complex. Since the Upper Nappe System experienced only very low to low grade metamorphism preservation of fossils is mostly acceptable. Part of the Upper Nappe System is the “Rannach Facies” which is famous for its fossil content. The sequence of the Rannach Facies starts with a volcanoclastic influenced environment (Reinerspitz Group; ?Ludlow - Lochkovian) followed by a Lochkovian to Frasnian carbonate shallow water environment (Rannach Group) which interfingers with basinal calcareous schists (“Kalkschiefer-Fazies”). During Frasnian the facies changed to a pelagic environment (Forstkogel Group) which continued until the Serpukhovian and is followed by limestones and slates of the Dult Group (Bashkirian). Lower to Middle Devonian sequences are characterized by shallow marine limestones and dolostones rich in fossils. Fossil content culminates during Eifelian to Givetian times and is related to a facial drift from tidal flat deposits to “reefal” envi-ronments.

What you will see:• Lower Devonian (Emsian) silt- to sandstones and dolomitic limestones of a supra- to shallow subtidal, barrier-surround-

ed lagoon and tidal flats with laminoid-fenestral fabrics, stromatolitic layers and scarce occurrences of algal thalli.• Type locality of Zeapora an early Eifelian green alga at Kollerkogel (southern Plabutsch range). • Type locality of Pseudolitanaia graecensis at Fuchsenloch; succession of a follil-rich Eifelian subtidal deposition. • Lower Devonian (?upper Silurian) outcrops with rapidly changing facies at Rein area (northwest of Graz) containing

lanciculoid thalli. • Eifelian and Givetian shallow water deposits rich in cnidarians with green algae.
