Abstract
The Miocene Käpfnach seam is only about 0.5 m thick but offers interesting insights into the depositional environments during the early stages (∼16 Ma) of the deposition of the Upper Freshwater Molasse in the Swiss part of the North Alpine Foreland Basin. It is also the most important coal deposit in Switzerland. The study focused on the coal seam, which includes a marly parting (“Stinkstein”), but the underlying and overlying sediments were also investigated.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Coal Geology deals with fundamental and applied aspects of the geology and petrology of coal, oil/gas source rocks and shale gas resources. The journal aims to advance the exploration, exploitation and utilization of these resources, and to stimulate environmental awareness as well as advancement of engineering for effective resource management.
