Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Kalktuff im Muschelkalkgebiet bei Glatt (Dorf bei Sulz am Neckar am gleichnamigen Fluss Glatt; Nebenfluss des Oberen Neckars). Aus kohlesäurehaltigem, kalkigem Wasser ausgefällter Kalk, der alles überkrustet. Diese und ähnliche Erscheinungen treten auf der Schwäbischen Alb und in Nebentälern des Oberen Neckars öfters auf.
Am Talhang, ca. 1000 m westlich des Dorfes, wurden früher mächtige Kalktuff ablagerungen abgebaut („Butzenstein“). Kalkhaltiges Wasser tritt auch rezent an einer stauenden Schicht des verkarsteten Muschelkalks aus mehreren Schichtquellen aus, vernässt aber auch den gesamten Talhang auf ca. 100 m Breite, so dass hier auch eine Quellflur (üppiges Feucht-Biotop, vgl. Foto: Image:Karst-Quellflur_Naehe-Sulz-Neckar.jpg) entstanden ist.

English: Sedimentation of Travertine. Muddy travertine drys and hardens, encrusting everything on the ground. The sediment precipitats chemically from “cold” (ambient temperature) water of karst springs, as opposed to “hot springs”, which originate from the earth’s crust. This type of Travertine is a phenomenon found in landscapes where karstified Muschelkalk or karstified Upper Jurassic prevail. The deposition in the photo is on the valley’s slope of river Glatt, a tributary of upper river Neckar), ca. 1000 m west of the village “Glatt”. The slope’s karst water emerges from an impounding layer in the Muschelkalk. A stretch of ca. 100 m of the slope is a soggy biotope (photo: Image:Karst-Quellflur_Naehe-Sulz-Neckar.jpg).
