Asset Overview

Drone-based photogrammetric model of the eastern wall of a large quarry at Kamsdorf (Thuringia, Germany) using imagery acquired by @chgruetze on 05 July 2020. Outcrop coordinates: 50°38'36.0"N 11°29'09.8"E. Model created by @GeoBenni using Agisoft Metashape Pro. The outcrop exposes a folded angular unconformity at the base of the Late Permian Zechstein succession (here consisting of dark, bituminous dolomitic limestones) overlying Early Carboniferous slates. The folded Zechstein deposits form the tip of a south-vergent fault propagation fold with a N-dipping reverse fault cross-cutting the slates. An earlier N-dipping normal fault a few metres to the south of the reverse faults adds a tweak of complexity to the structure.
