The middle to late Triassic Bänkerjoch and Klettgau formations of northern Switzerland. Swiss J. Geosc. 109/2, 257-284
The Gansingen Member corresponds to the Beaumont Horizon of the Steigerwald Formation in southern Germany. Originally, the fossiliferous «Dolomit von Gansingen» was described as a local curiosity by von Alberti (1864). In the mid-twentieth century, the term «Gansingen Dolomit» became more and more popular among Swiss geologists, first as an equivalent to the basal «Hauptsteinmergel» then to the whole Beaumont Horizon. For Swiss stratigraphers the «Gansingen Dolomit» was a succession rich in dolomite forming small cliffs and ridges within the surrounding marlstones (e.g. Müller et al. 1984). This concept was consequently applied to the core recordings of the Nagra deep drilling program (e.g. Matter et al. 1988; Nagra 1992a, b, 2001) and is now adopted for the definition of the Gansingen Member. Towards northeast the marine late diagenetic dolomite facies (initially limestone) is successively replaced by an evaporitic facies. The primary calcium sulphate is partly replaced by dolomite or even calcite as, for instance, in the Seebi section (Jordan et al. 2016). According to the Nagra boreholerecords(e.g.Matteretal.1988;Nagra1992a,b,2001) this facies is also integrated in the Gansingen Member. This agrees with Schalch (1916) who correlated the heterogeneous dolomite and limestone outcropping in the Klettgau and adjacent Wutach area as equivalents of the «Hauptsteinmergel». He also included the local «Duröhrlestein» variety, characterised by thin dark bituminous calcite (anthraconite or stinkstone) interlayers
