Spiess Dekan i ii Gewidmet Prof. Dr. Andreas Wetzel, meiner Familie, meinen Freunden, Annette iii iv “Eat The Elephant” APC v vi Abstract The Early Jurassic full-marine sediments in NW Switzerland accumulated in the slowly subsiding area between the southwestern part of the Swabian Basin and the eastern Paris Basin. These deposits are dominated by fine-grained siliciclastics, but calcarenitic and phosphorite-rich strata are intercalated. Unlike in the adjacent regions of SW Germany and E France, they are arranged in a quite complex stratigraphic architecture characterised by rather abrupt facies changes, erosive truncations and gaps. Despite many common features in NW Switzerland, the sediments are considerably different with deposits of a similar age in SW Germany and E France that the definition of regional lithostratigraphic units is justified constituting the “Staffelegg Formation”. The Staffelegg Formation comprises 11 members and 9 beds. Several of these beds represent distinct correlation horizons. Some of them correspond to strata or erosional unconformities encountered in the Swabian realm, some of them can be correlated with strata in the Paris Basin. The thickness of the Early Jurassic strata varies between 25 and 70 m. In the eastern and central parts of NW Switzerland, sediments Sinemurian in age constitute about 90% of the thickness. To the West, however, in the Mont Terri area, Pliensbachian and Toarcian deposits form 70% of the thickness. The accommodation space of the Early Jurassic strata was controlled mainly by eustatic sea-level changes. While eustatic sea-level rise was low, isopach maps having a chronostratigraphic resolution of one sub-stage provide clear evidence of differential subsidence as pre-existing faults in the basement that formed vii during the late Palaeozoic became reactivated. Orientation of relative thickness anomalies follow the fault trends either those of the Rhenish Lineament or those of the North Swiss Permocarboniferous Trough. Isopach anomalies are superimposed on a general trend of decreasing thickness to the South. Their small areal extension suggests that strike-slip movements occurred locally with a mosaic of basement blocks. Reactivation of faults in the basement during the Early Jurassic is also evidenced by temporally enhanced hydrothermal activity as documented by chronometric age of veins and mineral alterations. viii Contents Abstract vii Introduction xiii Chapter I The Staffelegg Formation: a new stratigraphic scheme for the Early Jurassic of northern Switzerland 1 Abstract 3 1 Introduction 4 1.1 History of Jurassic stratigraphy of northern Switzerland 4 1.2 Palaeogeography and Early Jurassic stratigraphy 7 2 Materials and methods 7 3 Staffelegg Formation 10 4 Lithostratigraphic subunits of the Staffelegg Formation 11 4.1 Schambelen Member 11 4.1.1 Hallau Bed 13 4.2 Beggingen Member 15 4.2.1 Schleitheim Bed 16 4.2.2 Gächlingen Bed 21 4.3 Weissenstein Member 23 4.4 Frick Member 23 4.5 Grünschholz Member 25 4.6 Fasiswald Member 25 4.7 Mont Terri Member 27 4.8 Breitenmatt Member 31 4.8.1 Trasadingen Bed 33 4.8.2 Müsenegg Bed 33 4.9 Rickenbach Member 35 4.10 Rietheim Member 36 4.10.1 Unterer Stein (in the rank of a bed) 37 4.11 Gross Wolf Member 39 4.11.1 Gipf Bed 41 4.11.2 Erlimoos Bed 43 4.11.3 Eriwis Bed 44 5 Concluding remarks 44 Acknowledgments 45 References 46 ix Chapter II Float, explode or sink: postmortem fate of lung-breathing marine vertebrates 53 Abstract 55 Introduction 56 Exploding the myth: can carcasses explode? 56 Effects of sediment compaction and currents 59 Sink or float? 60 Skeleton preservation as a sea-level proXy? 61 Conclusions and significance 63 Acknowledgements 64 References 65 Chapter III Evidence for synsedimentary differential tectonic movements in a low subsidence setting: Early Jurassic in northwestern Switzerland 71 Abstract 73 1 Introduction 73 2 Study area and geological setting 74 3 Material and methods 77 4 Isopach maps 79 4.1 Belchen Member (Rhaetian, Late Triassic) 79 4.2 Schambelen Member and base of the Beggingen Member (Early Hettangian, Early Jurassic) 79 4.3 Base of the Beggingen Member (Late Hettangian) 79 4.4 Beggingen Member and Weissenstein Member (Early Sinemurian– early Late Sinemurian) 79 4.5 Frick Member, Grünschholz Member, Fasiswald Member and basal part of the Mt.

During the Early Jurassic, subsidence was low, as the enhanced subsidence following a late Palaeozoic tectonic phase decelerated (Fig. 2; Wildi et al. 1989; Loup 1992, 1993; Wetzel et al. 2003). Furthermore during the Triassic, the relief formed during the Variscan orogeny was denudated. Thus this part of the epicontinental basin represented a peneplain at the end of the Triassic as recorded by generally fine-grained deposits (e.g., Bachmann et al. 2008; Jordan 2008). Nonetheless, a major transgression took place that represented the onset of marine conditions that lasted until the Cretaceous (Fig. 3; Ogg et al. 2016). Within this context the Early Jurassic strata within the study area are particular of interest because of several reasons. 1. The shallow marine conditions led to small-scale facies variations and condensed intervals. Over the years, thus, stratigraphic units based on local observations became established and resulted finally in a no longer applicable lithostratigraphic subdivision (Reisdorf et al. 2011). Furthermore the correlation of these units with lithostratigraphic units defined in adjacent areas remained tendentious. 2. Subsidence was low and hence, accommodation space could be severely affected by sea-level changes. To quantify depositional water depth, besides classical considerations based on lithofacies (Allen & Allen 2013), vertebrate fossils have some potential to estimate depositional water depth when taphonomic processes are taken into account. The Early Jurassic strata are very suitable for such a study as they contain numerous more or less complete but disarticulated vertebrate skeletons or isolated bones. 3. When the sea flooding a peneplain a rather uniform facies can be expected to form that is only accentuated by a depositional relief that formed in response to hydraulic processes such as waves and currents. However, in the Early Jurassic strata of the study area exhibited small- scale facies and thickness variations. Consequently additional factors have to be considered to modulate these patterns. xiii Fig. 1: Palaeogeographic map for the Early Jurassic in NW Switzerland and adjacent parts of France and Germany (modified after Ziegler 1990; Wetzel & Reisdorf 2007). Fig. 2: Decompacted sediment thickness versus time for the standard sections drilled at Weiach, Riniken, and Schafisheim (NW Switzerland; for location, see Chapter I of this thesis, from Wetzel et al. 2003). xiv Fig. 3: Schematic sea-level curve for the Jurassic time interval (modified after Ogg et al. 2016). These main objectives are addressed in the three main chapters of this thesis: Chapter 1: The Staffelegg Formation: A New Stratigraphic Scheme for the Early Jurassic of Northern Switzerland Chapter 2: Float, Explode or Sink: The Postmortem Fate of Lung-Breathing Marine Vertebrates Chapter 3: Evidence for synsedimentary differential tectonic movements in a low subsidence setting: Early Jurassic in northwestern Switzerland. xv In detail, chapter 1 describes and classifies the full-marine Early Jurassic sediments of NW Switzerland, which as a whole are usually 25 to 50 m in thickness, and which were deposited in the transitional area between the southwestern part of the Swabian Basin and the Paris Basin.

  • Upper Devonian) of Latvia
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2021, 70, 1, 3–17 https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2021.01 Revision of asterolepidoid antiarch remains from the Ogre Formation (Upper Devonian) of Latvia Ervīns Lukševičs Department of Geology, University of Latvia, Raiņa Boulevard 19, Riga LV­1586, Latvia; [email protected] Received 3 June 2020, accepted 8 September 2020, available online 15 December 2020 Abstract. The Frasnian (Upper Devonian) antiarch Walterilepis speciosa was first described in 1933 (as Taeniolepis) on the basis of a single specimen. The newly collected material has allowed the head to be described in a more detail, especially the nuchal and paranuchal plates. Other newly described elements include bones of the pectoral appendages and trunk armour, demonstrating a rather high and short trunk armour. The shape and proportions of the head and trunk armour suggest the attribution of Walterilepis to the family Pterichthyodidae; it is most probably closely related to Lepadolepis from the Late Frasnian of Germany. Whilst W. speciosa is endemic to the Latvian part of the Baltic Devonian Basin, the connection to the Rheinisches Schiefergebirge is probably closer than previously presumed. Walterilepis fits into the biostratigraphical column at the same level as Bothriolepis maxima and B. evaldi, indicating the high diversity of antiarchs during Pamūšis time. Key words: Frasnian, biostratigraphy, morphology, placoderm, Baltic Devonian basin. INTRODUCTION noted that the generic name of Gross (1932, 1933a) is preoccupied by the sarcopterygian name Taeniolepis The well­known Baltic German palaeontologist Walter Trautschold, 1874, and he erected the replacement name Gross, who was born in the close vicinity of Riga, made Walterilepis (Moloshnikov 2001).

  • Geomechanical Modelling of the Steinernase Landslide (Switzerland)
    Geomechanical modelling of the Steinernase landslide (Switzerland) L. Laloui, A. Ferrari & Ch. Bonnard(*) Soil Mechanics Laboratory (LMS), Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. (*)Presently independent consultant, PBBG SA, Lausanne. ABSTRACT: A geomechanical model was developed to analyse the behaviour of a natural slope located on the bank of the Rhine River between the towns of Stein and Mumpf in Switzerland. The slope is affected by a landslide and three strategic infrastructure assets are located at its toe. An intense monitoring campaign made it possible to identify pore water pressure evolution as the main cause for movement accelerations and to de- tect the presence of a multiple slip surface system. Advanced coupled finite element hydrogeological and ge- omechanical models have been used to analyse the landslide behaviour. After being calibrated and validated, the model was applied to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved and to predict the slope behaviour under different scenarios. 1 INTRODUCTION finite element models, allows an appropriate answer so such questions.

    Swiss J Geosci (2011) 104:97–146 DOI 10.1007/s00015-011-0057-1 The Staffelegg Formation: a new stratigraphic scheme for the Early Jurassic of northern Switzerland Achim G. Reisdorf • Andreas Wetzel • Rudolf Schlatter • Peter Jordan Received: 20 March 2010 / Accepted: 10 January 2011 / Published online: 3 May 2011 Ó Swiss Geological Society 2011 Abstract The deposits of the Early Jurassic in northern sediments in northern Switzerland between the Doubs Switzerland accumulated in the relatively slowly subsiding River and Mt. Weissenstein in the west and the Randen transition zone between the southwestern part of the Hills located north of the city of Schaffhausen in the east. Swabian basin and the eastern part of the Paris basin under The Staffelegg Formation starts within the Planorbis zone fully marine conditions. Terrigenous fine-grained deposits of the Hettangian. The upper boundary to the overlying dominate, but calcarenitic and phosphorit-rich strata are Aalenian Opalinus-Ton is diachronous. The lithostrati- intercalated. The total thickness varies between 25 and graphic names previously in use have been replaced by 50 m. In the eastern and central parts of N Switzerland, new ones, in accordance within the rules of lithostrati- sediments Sinemurian in age constitute about 90% of the graphic nomenclature. The Staffelegg Formation comprises total thickness. To the West, however, in the Mont Terri 11 members and 9 beds. Several of these beds are impor- area, Pliensbachian and Toarcian deposits form 70% of the tant correlation horizons in terms of allostratigraphy. Some total thickness.
