OUTCROPS

Bunte (= multicolored) breccia ejecta on top of Malmian limestones. Gundelsheim quarry, roughly 21 km from the crater center. The emplacement of the ejecta caused prominent scour marks uncovered in the foreground.

Suevite (greyish) in contact with and overlying Bunte breccia ejecta. Aumühle quarry; roughly 12 km from the crater center.

The megabreccia zone between structural rim and inner ring (Limberg quarry, near Unterwilflingen): multicolored Keuper sediments, strongly corroded suevite, and grit-brecciated granitic rocks.
