Early Jurassic (Lias γ, Pliensbachian) ferruginous limestone (the bed below the hammer) and marl (the bed ‘behind’ the hammer) in the cap rocks of the oolithic iron ore deposit at the village of Rottorf am Klei, Lower Saxony, Germany, largely obscured by weathered material of the same rocks.
Fossil samples – e.g. ‘primitive’ bony fish (1, 2), a skull of a temnospondyl ‘amphibian’ (probably a metoposauroid) in dorsal view (3), a skull of an archosaur of the crocodile lineage (probably a phytosaur) in palatal view (4), holotype of the “gliding reptile” Icarosaurus siefkeri [1] (5) and Atreipus-Grallator-type dinosaur tracks (bottom right) – from the Newark Supergroup, i.e. a series of mainly Late Triassic to Early Jurassic sedimentary rocks of eastern North America ↑ Edwin H.
