Summary edit
| Description |
Deutsch: „Böttinger Marmor“. Eine besondere Rarität in geologischer, mineralogischer und paläontologischer Hinsicht. Das emporsteigende warme Wasser einer großen Spalte am Schlotrand des im Miozän aktiven Böttinger Vulkans (Vulkan des „Urach-Kirchheimer Vulkangebiets“) schichtete alternierend weißen und stark eisenhaltigen (roten) Weißjura-Kalk auf, so dass sich in der ca. 200x30m langen Spalte große Mengen an so genanntem, „gebänderten Böttinger Marmor“ - und weniger wertvoll „Wilden Marmor“ (nicht gebändert) - bildeten. Der Böttinger Marmor ist kein echter Marmor, sondern Sinterkalk (Travertin). Der Schlot des Böttinger Vulkans bildet heute eine Geländemulde, weil die Tuffe und Fremdgesteine des Schlots allmählich absackten. Die Mulde und die Spalte sind auch nach ca. 10 Mio. Jahren Verwitterung und Abtragung des Albplateaus noch vorhanden. English: „Böttinger Marmor“. A true rarity in every respect! Warm water, rising from a 200x30m chasm at the border of the volcanic pipe of a Miocene volcano piled up alternating white and red limestone, thus producing large quantities of ”Ribboned Böttingen Marble”. The output isn’t really marble in geological terms, but travertine. The rest of the diatreme of the Böttingen volcano formed a morphological depression, as do many other volcanoes in the “Urach-Kirchheimer Vulkangebiet” of the Middle Swabian Alb. Even after 10 Mill. years of weathering and erosion the chasm and the diatreme still prevail. |
