The Kössen Formation is a Late Triassic (Rhaetian-age) geological formation in the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria and Germany, in the Tiroler-Lech Nature Park. During the Late Triassic, the area now occupied by the Northern Calcareous Alps was instead a long, passive coastline at the western tip of the Neotethys Ocean. The environment was initially dominated by a wide and shallow carbonate platform within a lagoon between the shore and a string of reefs. This carbonate platform is nowadays preserved as the Carnian to Norian-age Hauptdolomit and Dachstein Formation. The Kössen Formation represents a period of increased siliciclastic clay input into the lagoon, covering up the carbonate platform with marls and marly limestones instead of pure limestone or dolomite.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Kössen-Formation (auch Kössener Schichten) ist eine lithostratigraphische Einheit der Nördlichen Kalkalpen im Rang einer Formation.Namensgebend und Typlokalität ist der Ort Kössen in Tirol.Gesteine der Kössen-Formation treten auch in den Tegernseer Bergen, im Estergebirge sowie in den Ammergauer, Lechtaler und Allgäuer Alpen zu Tage. Die Kössen-Formation besteht aus einer Wechsellagerung dunkelgrauer Tonsteine, Mergelund toniger Kalksteine, die in der oberen Trias (Rhaetium)auf dem Schelf des westlichen Tethysmeeres abgelagert wurden.Die Gesteine der Kössen-Formation gelten als sehr reich an Fossilien.

The Eiberg Member of the Kössen Formation was deposited in the Eiberg basin, a narrow strip of deeper water which developed between the carbonate platform and the shoreline in the later part of the Rhaetian.
