Stratigraphy and paleogeography of the Hauptrogenstein and Klingnau Formations (middle Bajocian to late Bathonian), northern Switzerland Eclogae geol. Helv. 89/2, 695-720
p.704: The Württembergica Beds form a lensoid layer at the top of the Klingnau Formation between the Aare River and the Lägern Chain. The layer can be up to a few meters thick and consists of alternations of marls and fine-grained, strongly bioturbated wacke- to packstones. characteristically very rich in mollusks.
