About this book

Language: German

For over 30 years, the open-pit mine of Schöningen in Lower Saxony, Germany, has offered excellent insights into the geology of the ice age in this area. In particular, profiles of the deposits of the last 400,000 years (Middle and Upper Pleistocene) have been exposed through open-pit mining.

It has been through the efforts of Dietrich Mania, with the support of Hartmut Thieme, that these unique archives have been systematically documented. With the second volume of the Schöningen series, this groundwork is comprehensively presented. At the same time, Jörg Lang, Jutta Winsemann and others give an overview of the results of their geoscientific studies conducted since 2009. The contributions provide a comprehensive picture of the Schöninger layer sequence and the emergence of the lake, on the shores of which horse hunters dissected their prey. Finally, the investigation of Gottfried Böhme into the excellently preserved fish and amphibious remains from succession layers 1-4 is an essential building block for characterizing the climatic conditions aaround 300,000 years ago.

Summary in German:
Der Tagebau von Schöningen bot über 30 Jahre lang ausgezeichnete Einblicke in die Geologie des Eiszeitalters in Niedersachsen. Insbesondere die Ablagerungen der letzten 400000 Jahre (Mittel- und Jungpleistozän) waren immer wieder durch Profile im Tagebaubetrieb aufgeschlossen.

Es ist das Verdienst von Dietrich Mania, diese einmaligen Archive mit Unterstützung von Hartmut Thieme systematisch dokumentiert zu haben. Mit dem zweiten Band der Schöningen-Reihe wird diese Grundlagenarbeit umfassend vorgelegt. Zugleich geben Jörg Lang, Jutta Winsemann und andere einen Überblick über die Ergebnisse ihrer seit 2009 durchgeführten geowissenschaftlichen Studien. Die Beiträge bieten ein umfassendes Bild zur Schöninger Schichtenfolge und der Entstehung des Sees, an dessen Ufer Pferdejäger ihre Beute zerlegten. Schließlich ist die Untersuchung von Gottfried Böhme zu den ausgezeichnet erhaltenen Fisch- und Amphibienresten aus den Verlandungsfolgen 1-4 ein wesentlicher Baustein zur Charakterisierung der klimatischen Bedingungen der Zeit vor 300000 Jahren.
