Tech/Engineering - Geology / geological map | | French term or phrase: grès à roseaux | legend of a geological map:
grès à roseaux du Keuper inférieur |
| | | reed sandstone | Explanation:
"The term "Schilfsandstein" (reed sandstone) was invented in 1827 by Georg Friedrich Jäger for the fossiliferous ashlar sandstone of Stuttgart (now "Stuttgart Formation"). He coined this term with reference to the most ubiquitous plant fossil of this sandstone, which he mistook as an extinct kind of reed ("Calamites arenaceus"). Only a few years later, Heinrich Georg Bronn recognized the reed-like fossils to be shoots of a giant horsetail; today their correct name is Equisetites arenaceus (Jäger) Schenk. For some years, the new name "Schilfsandstein" was met with reservation by other geologists; yet, a few decades later, it gained overall acceptance. Today, the lateral equivalents of this formation are called "reed sandstone" even in neighbouring France ("grès à roseaux") and Poland ("piaskowiec trzcinowy"). "

"The lithology, charophyte-ostracod association and plant fragments attest that sediments at Krasiejów could have developed in the Late Keuper during deposi- tion of the highest part of the Reed Sandstone and/or Upper Gypsum Beds."
