(
p.214: The Therwil Mb is dominated by disarticulated valves of Crassostrea cyathula, which either form a densely packed, sometimes sandy coquina or are distributed in a matrix of mainly bluish grey, massive marls. In the area of Basel the member seems to be developed as a relatively continuous bed of maximal 2 (possibly to 5) m thickness that pinches out near Brislach (30 cm; Koch 1923) in the Laufen subbasin.
Gutzwiller (1893) indicates a continuous occurrence of the coquina bed between the villages Therwil and Ettingen (at least 4 km). Towards the north and the west the bed dissolves into oyster patch “reefs”, isolated valves in massive marls or is entirely absent (e.g. drilling Hirtzbach; Vonderschmitt 1942).
