STETJCTUEE OF THE TAENTHAL MASS. 



59' 



The stratigraphy of the mass has been very diflfereiitly interpreted 

 by various investigators. Their views will be found in the papers 

 noticed below.

12=Kalk & kalkschiefer des Lias (Liassic 



limestones and calc-schists). 



13 = Bunte Schiefer (mottled 



slates). 

 14=0phicalcite and serpentine. 



Adolf Pichler^ in 1859 supposed the sequence of strata to be 

 normal throughout, the capping mass of serpentine being treated 

 as a sedimentary rock. He enumerates the following fossils, found 

 in a grey limestone in place : — Belemnites, Pentacrinus, Gervillia 

 inflata, LitIiodend.ron, RhyncJionella. The whole mass of dolomite, 

 with the calcareous schists above it, is shown in his section as Lias, 

 in which formation the author includes the Rhaetic.
