Description: Laminated lacustrine sediments comprise light to dark brown silt laminas in alteration with white to light grey clayey laminas. Boundaries between silt and clay laminas are sharp. Silt laminas are 1-111 mm thick. The clay laminas are considerably thinner with thicknesses between 1 and 30 mm. Silt and clay laminas are often further differentiated implying variations in depositional processes.
Picture Type: macroscopic
Picture:
Description: Section of 15 cm thickness. Numbers indicate varves: a couplet consists of a winter layer (white) and spring/summer layer (grey). #3 is a complex varve, probably formed during a year with several freezing and thaw periods. A-winter layer; B-spring layer; C-summer/autumn layer. Arrows point to the autumn/winter boundary with frequent fossil leaves.
