Guides: C.-H. Friedel, B. Leiss, M. Zweig Date & Time: Friday, September 19 8:00 – 18:00 h Price: 55 € Including: Transport by coach/minibus from and to Göttingen, printed field trip guide Personal requirements: Field boots and water-proof clothing, moderate personal fitness for intermediate walks and climbs. At the Odertal water reservoir, a more strenuous climb is necessary to reach the outcrop. We recommend that you take something to eat and drink with you. As in many other fold and thrust belts, the views on nappe tectonics in the Harz Mountains have changed several times in the last 100 years. Closely related to this was the different interpretation of the chaotic rock units widespread in the allochthonous part of the Harz, which for a long time were regarded only as (Variscan-deformed) olistostromes. We would like to present some examples and discuss their characteristics, which rather favour a primarily tectonic origin of the chaotic rock fabric. |
