On April 10th, 1939, a large rockslide occurred close to the village of Fidaz (Flims), killing 18 people. The study presented here aims at re-analyzing this event with contemporary documents. Eyewitness reports, photographs and maps were taken into consideration to reconstruct the Fidaz rockslide and to determine mean velocities of the sliding masses. Furthermore, digital elevation models (DEM)...

Neue Erkenntnisse über die Nashorn-Funde von Rickenbach (SO) (Oberes Oligozän, Kanton Solothurn, Schweiz) aus der Sammlung des Naturmuseums Olten

Tissier, Jérémy ; Geiger-Schütz, Pia ; Flückiger, Peter F. ; Becker, Damien

In: Naturforschende Gesellschaft Des Kantons Solothurn, 2021, vol. 44, p. 25-51

The fossiliferous locality of Rickenbach (SO) is particularly well known as the reference locality of the mammal level MP29 (Late Oligocene, ca. 23.5 million years) of the European mammalian biochronology. The revision of the specimens of Rhinocerotidae housed in the Olten natural history Museum has permitted to describe for the first time the association of three species, Ronzotherium...

Lithostratigraphie und Sedimentologie der Uran-führenden Langer Heinrich Formation/Namibia = Lithostratigraphy and sedimentology of the uranium bearing Langer Heinrich formation/Namibia

Trittschack, Roy ; Borg, Gregor

In: Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie Teil 1, 2010, p. 139-156

The task of this study was the geomorphological and sedimentological identification and subdivision of various deflation surfaces and calcrete generations around the Langer Heinrich uranium mine/Namibia. Clast counting statistics offer a chance for the classification of different surfaces and the determination of particular sources. Analytical techniques comprise SWIR spectroscopy, XRD, light...
