p.135: Letzi Member (Moesch 1863) ; Member of the Villigen Formation According to Moesch (1863. p. 164/165). Escher von der Linth originally proposed the name Letzi Member (Letzischichten). The name refers to the hill called Letzi 2.5 km northeast of the village of Effingen. Canton Aargau. LK 1069 Frick. A small quarry was opened in the Letzi Member 100 m east of the now demolished farm Letzi in the 19th century in order to provide for lithographic limestone (coordinates 652.040/262.200) which is the type locality. The outcrop does not exist any more. The Letzi Member is a well-bedded, pure micritic limestone with a mean thickness of about 20 m (Gygi 1969. pl 17). Macrofossils are uncommon, but some bivalves (Pholadomya) and ammonites were found. The Letzi Member is underlain by the glauconitic Knollen Bed and overlain by the glauconitic Baden Member. The upper part of the Letzi Member could be dated with a Subnebrodites laxevolutus (Fontannes) in the large quarry at Mellikon. Canton Aargau (Gygi 2000b. Pl. 11, Fig. 4) at the Planula Chron ofthe early Kimmeridgian. Sutneria galar (Oppel) J 32809 occurs in the uppermost two meters of the Letzi Member (bed 114. Gygi 1969. Pl. 17. section RG 70). Thanks to the Knollen Bed marker, the Letzi Member can be exactly correlated lithostratigraphically with the Wangental Member in Canton Schaffhausen. Gygi (1969. Pl. 16, section RG 82) found Subnebrodites schroederi (Wegele) J 31714 in bed 134 of the section directly above the base of the Wangental Member. The specimen is figured in Gygi (2000b. Pl. 13 Fig. 4). Consequently, the age ofthe Letzi Member is the Planula Chron. A good reference section of the member are beds 63-119 of section RG 70 at Mellikon. Canton Aargau. which is figured by Gygi (1969. Pl. 17).
