  • The maps show a total of 14 newly interpreted base horizons (Middle Miocene unconformity to the base of the Zechstein) as depth maps. The input data for 3D modelling in the Duck's Bill area are available for download here.

  • The Lithofacial Map of the Quaternary 1 : 50,000 (LKQ 50) is a map series of the GDR covering nearly the whole former state territory besides the South of Saxony and Thuringia. The series consists of 123 map sheets, each of which encompassing several horizon maps mostly complemented by about five cross sections. Specifications concerning map content and structure provides Cepek (1999). The data of the LKQ 50 map sheet 1868 Eberswalde provided here were digitised in frame of the Geo3D-Oder project of the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The data include elements of the eight horizon maps 1868-2, 1868-3, 1868-4, 1868-5 1868-6, 1868-7, 1868-8, and 1868-9. The topics of these maps are defined in a general legend (version 3). Furthermore, the legends of the single horizon maps provide a stratigraphic and genetic classification of the depicted strata. For each horizon map the digitised elements comprise several polygon shapefiles of the single layers, a polyline shapefile of isohypses related to layer bases, a point shapefile of lithological profiles and a polygon shapefile of additional information concerning areas of heavy strata deformation and insufficient investigation. Non-numeric contents of the attribute tables are encoded by numbers and are translated in full text by means of key tables. The key table Normalprofil allows the stratigraphic and genetic classification of horizons displayed in horizon maps by code numbers of the column N_ID. Detailed descriptions concerning the data structure are provided in the attachments. Reference: Cepek, A. G.

  • The International Geological Map of Europe and the Mediteranean Regions 1 : 1 500 000 ("Carte Géologique Internationale de l'Europe et des Régions Méditerranéennes 1 : 1 500 000") shows the geology of the European continent from the Ural mountains in the east up to Island in the west and the whole mediteranean region in the south.

  • The maps show the recent depth of the Middle Miocene unconformity in meters below sea level as well as the tops of seismic units SU1 to SU7 in meters below sea level. The latter are seven mapped units identified above the Middle Miocene unconformity using seismic and borehole geophysical data. The publication "Late Cenozoic evolution of the German North Sea - Sedimentation in a subsiding basin" (Thöle et al., 2014) describes and documents these contents. Sedimentation in the southern North Sea was dominated from the middle Miocene into the Pleistocene by a delta system advancing from east to west, the so-called Eridanos Delta (sensu Overeem et al., 2001). The dimensions of this fossil delta are comparable to those of the largest delta systems on Earth today (Schwarz, 1996). The evolution of this depositional system has been the subject of numerous scientific studies in recent decades (e.g., Sörensen et al., 1997; Overeem et al., 2001; Kuhlmann, 2004), but these have focused mainly on the neighboring North Sea sectors and relatively little was known about the German part. However, for the overall understanding of the deltaic sedimentation prevailing in this time interval and its evolution, the German part is indispensable, since from the Upper Miocene until the late Pliocene, the main depositional area of the giant delta was predominantly located in the present-day German North Sea sector. Based on extensive seismic data and geophysical borehole information, a detailed mapping of the late Cenozoic delta deposits in the German North Sea sector has been carried out for the first time. The subdivision of the sedimentary sequence, which was previously only roughly subdivided or not subdivided at all, was carried out according to seismostratigraphic and sequence-stratigraphic concepts (e.g. Mitchum et al., 1977; Catuneanu, 2006). Then, seven regionally significant seismic horizons above the Middle Miocene unconformity were identified and temporally calibrated using new biostratigraphic dating. They subdivide the Late Cenozoic sedimentary sequence into seven main depositional units, namely SU1 to SU7. The units, each bounded at their base and top by prominent unconformities, reflect successive phases of delta evolution. Literature: Thöle, H., Gaedicke, C., Kuhlmann, G., and Reinhardt, L. (2014).

  • The point map shows samples of the BGR-petroleum archive, which are stored at the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The map contains drill sites and selected information on the well including well names and NIBIS-well identifiers (NIBIS Kartenserver des Landesamtes für Bergbau und Geologie Niedersachsens). Petroleum samples are stored in different quantities and are usually stored cool. For many of the samples geochemical data are available at BGR like relative amounts of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, isotopic compositions of individual fractions (delta13C) as well as ratios of selected aliphatic hydrocarbons and biomarkers (particularly steranes and hopanes). Samples and data are stored for internal use only due to legal issues. BGR may help with making a contact.

  • The map Organic Matter Content of Top-Soils in Germany 1:1,000,000 highlights the results of a Germany-wide compilation of typical soil organic matter contents in top-soils differentiated according to 15 groups of soil parent material, four climatic areas and the main land use. The evaluation is based on more than 9000 soil data profiles with information about Soil Organic Matter (SOM) from a period of about 20 years. The report 'The Organic Matter Content of Top-Soils in Germany', BGR Archiv, No. 0127036 (in German) documents the methodology. The classes of the map legend are based on the classes given in the German Soil Mapping Guideline, 5th Edition (KA5).

  • The map series General Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:200,000 (GÜK200) is the result of cooperation between the State Geological Surveys of the Federal Republic of Germany (SGD), the Geological Surveys of neighbouring countries and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The GÜK200 displays the surface geology of Germany and adjacent areas of neighbouring countries on 55 map sheets. The map sheets show the regional dissemination of more than 3800 geological units. The geological units contain information on stratigraphy (age), genesis and petrography (composition) of the rocks.
