  • From Upper Triassic of the Northern Ca
    STUDIA UNIVERSITATIS BABEŞ-BOLYAI, GEOLOGIA, XLVIII, 2, 2003, 101-111 HIRUNDOPORELLA DACHSTEINENSIS N. GEN., N. SP., A NEW PROBLEMATIC DASYCLADALE (GREEN ALGA) FROM THE UPPER TRIASSIC OF THE NORTHERN CALCAREOUS ALPS, AUSTRIA. FELIX SCHLAGINTWEIT1, HARALD LOBITZER2 & OSKAR EBLI3 ABSTRACT. A new problematic dasycladale is described as Hirundoporella dachsteinensis nov. gen., n. sp. from the Upper Triassic bedded Dachstein Limestone of Mount Dachstein, Austria. It is characterized by individualized phloiophorous laterals, open at the ends and secondary laterals of low number arising in the middle part of the primaries. Nothing is known about the obviously thin and poorly calcified main-axis and the overall arrangement of the primaries. The microfacies is represented by a wackestone composed to about 70 % of dismembered laterals of Hirundoporella dachsteinensis n. sp. Key Words: Calcareous Algae, Dasycladales, Upper Triassic, Norian-Rhaetian, Dachstein Limestone, Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria INTRODUCTION The Austroalpine Dachstein nappe with the Dachstein mountains is part of the Triassic shallow marine carbonate shelf that at its southern rim bordered the Tethys ocean with the adjacent deeper water Hallstatt realm (e.g. Haas et al., 1995, Mandl 2000). The Upper Triassic Dachstein-type platforms are widespread in the Mediterranean realm and even Japan (Kristan-Tollmann 1991). The Dachstein facies comprises reefs at the southern border, northward passing into back-reef and lagoonal deposits of the so-called “bedded Dachstein limestone” (e.g. Zankl 1971). The latter exhibits a typical cyclicity, the so-called “Lofer cyclothems” (layer A, B, C) studied by Fischer (1964). With respect to the reefal and near-reef facies, a more detailed differentiation has been established with typical assemblages of benthic foraminifera and dasycladales (Senowbari-Daryan & Schäfer, 1978, 1979; Wurm, 1982).

  • High-Mountain Permafrost in the Austrian Alps (Europe)
    HIGH-MOUNTAIN PERMAFROST IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS (EUROPE) Gerhard Karl Lieb Institute of Geography University of Graz Heinrichstrasse 36 A-8010 Graz e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Permafrost research in the Austrian Alps (Eastern Alps) is based on a variety of methods, including at large scales, the measurement of the temperature of springs and of the base of winter snow cover, and at small scales, mainly an inventory of some 1450 rock glaciers. Taking all the information available into consideration, the lower limit of discontinuous permafrost is situated near 2500 m in most of the Austrian Alps. These results can be used for modelling the permafrost distribution within a geographical information system. Detailed investi- gations were carried out in the Doesen Valley (Hohe Tauern range) using additional methods, including several geophysical soundings. In this way, realistic estimates of certain permafrost characteristics and the volume of a large active rock glacier (some 15x106m3) were possible. This rock glacier has been chosen as a monitoring site to observe the effects of past and future climatic change.

  • Hummocky Karren Lukas Plan1, Christa Renetzeder2, Rudolf Pavuza3, and Wilfred Körner4
    International Journal of Speleology 41 (1) 75-81 Tampa, FL (USA) January 2012 Available online at scholarcommons.usf.edu/ijs/ & www.ijs.speleo.it International Journal of Speleology Official Journal of Union Internationale de Spéléologie A new karren feature: hummocky karren Lukas Plan1, Christa Renetzeder2, Rudolf Pavuza3, and Wilfred Körner4 Abstract: Plan L., Renetzeder C., Pavuza R. and Körner W. 2012. A new karren feature: hummocky karren. International Journal of Speleology, 41(1), 75-81. Tampa, FL (USA). ISSN 0392-6672. http://dx.doi.org/10.5083/1827-806X.41.1.8. Karren are small-scale landforms on karst surfaces and many types have been described so far. Here we present an apparently new feature which was found on the Hochschwab karst massive in the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria. So far only few outcrops each having less than 1 m² within a very restricted area have been found. Morphometric analysis reveals that the karren consist of a randomly distributed, dispersed assemblage of small hummocks and depressions in between. The mean distance between neighbouring hummocks is 4 to 5 cm and the mean height is 0.85 cm. Longitudinal sections are gently sinuous. The occurrences are delimited by thin soil cover with grassy vegetation and the karren continue below that vegetation cover. Therefore, it is clear that the features have formed subcutaneously. Corroded fissures where water could infiltrate into the epikarst are absent. The bedrock lithology is Middle Triassic limestone of the Wetterstein Formation in lagoonal facies. Geological structures do not govern the feature. The surface is not a bedding plane and small joints and fractures do not govern the arrangement of the hummocks.

Acknowledgement 84 References 84 Abstract Published microthermometrical data of fluid inclusions, which were trapped near or subsequent to the time of maximum subsidence of the Drau Range (Eastern Alps) have been used to evaluate the relationship between fluid flow and heat transfer. The evaluation is based on a numerical 1-D heat flow model, calibrated with vitrinite reflectance values. Aqueous fluid inclusions in quartz fissures crosscutting Permo-Scythian sediments and in fluorites hosted by Carnian carbonates give evidence for conductive heat transfer during fluid flow in the Late Cretaceous/Neogene. This implies that trapping temperatures of these fluids (125 °C to 220 °C in quartz, 115 °C to 180 °C in fluorite) can be used to approximate the burial temperatures (190 °C in the Permo-Scythian, 130 °C to 150 °C in the Carnian).
