p.273: The Schmiedwirt Member is characterized by medium- to thin-bedded intraclastic wackestones with ostracodes, sponge spicules and crinodal debris, partly showing a nodular fabric. It is best exposed in the Schmiedwirt quarry (Fig. 2). Only its lower part is preserved at Adnet and Breitenberg. It is of Sinemurian age and constitutes the major part of the 'Adneter Kalke s. str.' of Tollmann (1976a).
