Riesgeologie auf der Nördlinger Marienhöhe
This event concerns the geology of the Ries crater (Ries impact structure) as examined at the Marienhöhe in Nördlingen, Bavaria. The Marienhöhe is a hill where exposures of impact-related rocks—such as suevite and ejecta from the asteroid impact about 15 million years ago—can be studied, making it a site of interest for geologists and educational excursions on the Nördlinger Ries.
