Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Travertin, gesägter Block (ca. 1x1x2m) aus dem Sediment des Neckars im aufgelassenen Steinbruch der „Fa Haas“ in Stuttgart-Münster.
Dieser Travertin bildete sich im Früh- und Spätglazial der Eiszeiten des Pleistozäns: In den Warmzeiten der Riß-Eiszeit (Hoßkirch-Komplexes), der Eem-Warmzeit (Beginn der Würm-Eiszeit), sowie in der Nacheiszeit (Holozän) aus Quellwassern, die dem verkarsteten Mittleren- und Oberen Muschelkalk entstammen. Diese „Sauerwasserkalke“ sind Ausfällungen aus kohlensäurehaltigem, kalkigem Wasser. Sie lagern oft in auffallend feinen Sediment-Schichten. Besonders auffallend sind die Zwischenschichten, die Verwitterungsprodukte enthalten und daher – wie etwa durch Beimengungen von oxydiertem Eisen - bräunliche Bänder bilden. Die noch vom Löss bedeckten Travertin-Komplexe überlagern alte Terrassen des Neckars aus Schotterkörpern und Hochflutlehm. Die Travertin-Komplexe im Stuttgarter Raum sind bis zu 30 m mächtig.

English: Travertine, sedimented by river Neckar and cut as a block of ca. 1 x 1 x 2 m in the former quarry of “Fa Haas” in Stuttgart-Münster. Exploitation was abolished by 1988. The Travertine was slowly sedimented in interglacial times of the Pliocene: Early and late Riss glaciation (“Hoßkirch Complex”), the Eemian (early Würm glaciation) and warm times of Holocene.
The karstwaters emerged from karst springs in Upper- and Middle Muschelkalk. The chemically precipitated Travertine limestone tends to form thin fine layers of sediment. Remarkable are some beddings, coloured kind of brownish, a colour typical for a product of chemical weathering, such as oxidised iron. The Travertine complex tops old fluvial terraces of river Neckar, the peak is 30 m thickness.
