	Solnhofen Basin - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Solnhofen limestones are restricted in occurrence to the Southern Franconian Alb, in Bavaria, cut by the Althmuhl and Danube Rivers, north of Munich.
		To the east, the Solnhofen region was bordered by the London-Brabant Massif and the Central German Swell, and to the west by the Bohemian Massif.
		The paleoclimate of Solnhofen was arid, and monsoonal, with monsoon winds rising from the southeast and bringing in influxes of fresh water to the lagoon, which probably balanced the salinity of the lagoon, precipitating a seasonal migration thereto of nektonic forms and microbenthos.

	Solnhofen limestone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Solnhofen limestone is a Jurassic lagerstÃ¤tte that preserves a rare assemblage of fossilized organisms, some of which, such as sea jellies, don't ordinarily fossilize at all.
		The Solnhofen beds lie in the German state of Bavaria, halfway between Nuremberg and Munich.
		The fine-grained texture of the mud silt forming the limestone from the Solnhofen area is ideal for making lithographic plates, and extensive quarrying in the 19th century revealed many fossil finds, as commemorated in the name Archaeopteryx lithographica, all the specimens of which come from these deposits.

		The Solnhofen beds lie in Bavaria, halfway between Nuremberg and Munich.
		During late Jurassic times, this was an archipelago at the edge of the Tethys Sea, which included placid lagoons that had limited access to the open sea, where salinity rose high enough that the resulting brine could not support life.

	Solnhofen Limestone
		"This fine-textured limestone was quarried near Solnhofen and Eichstatt in the Altmuhl Valley, Bavaria, for many generations and sent to all parts of the world for use in the preparation of lithographic prints which played such an important role in the first publication of books.
		The discovery of Archaeopteryx settled the long-debated question on the origin and relationships of birds, for it is now clear that they arose from a primitive group of diapsid reptiles, a group that would also include the ancestry of the dinosaurs and phytosaurs" (Stirton 1959, pp.

	The Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone: Lagerstätten Catalogue: University of Bristol
		The Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone group is located in the Southern Franconian Alb in the German State of Bavaria, in the region of Nuremberg and Munich.
		The Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone was deposited in the Tithonian age of the Jurassic period, in a small lagoon where water exchange was restricted from the open sea due to an extended platform of shallow water and strong seafloor relief.
		Aragonite is not preserved in the Solnhofen Lithographic Limestone, with the ammonites being deformed and reduced to periostracal films, presumably in the upper levels of the water column, as these are more commonly preserved in slump sediments.

		The peak of Solnhofen quarrying activity came with the development of the lithographic printing process during the late part of the last century.
		The extremely fine-grained stone of the Solnhofen limestone was ideal for lithographic purposes.
		But the procedures used in Solnhofen quarries have always been unusual in that every slab of stone taken from the quarry face was--and still is--handled and examined by a number of quarrymen--sometimes as many as a dozen or more.

	Archaeopteryx: first bird
		Archaeopteryx is a series of seven fossils, consisting of bones and feather traces, from the Solnhofen lithographic limestones of Germany.
		The Solnhofen is the remains of the limy lagoon floors which surrounded a bunch of desert islands in the Jurassic period, 145 million years ago- back when Allosaurus was prowling around after Diplodocus.
		In general, the fossil record of animals is almost entirely composed of their hard parts (pieces of bone or shell) but the Solnhofen actually preserves completely boneless animals like squid and jellyfish, and, importantly, also preserves feathers.

		Named after the Bavarian town where many of these fossils were unearthed, Solnhofen deposits are the remains from a shallow Jurassic sea that covered what would, 150 million years later, become central Europe.
		This sea had pockets of high salinity lagoons which, when combined with the soft carbonate mud on the sea bed, acted to preserve many organic remains that would otherwise have suffered rapid decomposition.
		Over time, the fossil-bearing mud became limestone and was quarried by paleo-European, Celtic, and Germanic peoples inhabiting the area.

		The Solnhofen Limestone is a lithographic limestone quarried in Germany because of its fine grained characteristics.
		Based on the odd behavior recorded by some marine organisms (e.g., horseshoe crabs running around in circles and then dying, preserving both the trackway and the body fossil), and the level of preservation, it has been suggested that the Solnhofen was deposited in an anoxic environment.
