p.131: Grellingen Member (Gygi 2000b) ; Member of the St-Ursanne Formation The Grellingen Member was named by Gygi (2000b. p. 55) after the village of Grellingen. Canton Baselland. LK 1067 Arlesheim. Gygi did not indicate a type locality. The best, easily accessible natural outcrop is along the footpath that circumvents the small waterfall of an unnamed creek above Eigenhollen at coordinates 613.000/253.700 on the territory of the village of Duggingen. Canton Baselland. LK 1087 Passwang. The Grellingen Member there forms a vertical cliff with an overhang at the base. This is proposed to be the type locality. The Grellingen Member is normally a massive limestone forming cliffs and has a biomicritic or bioarenitic matrix with hermatypic corals. It is a coral biostrome. Coral bioherms are uncommon, but they do occur (Gygi 20(X)b). The average thickness of the member is about 30 m. The lower boundary with the marly Liesberg Member is at many localities transitional. The upper boundary with the oolitic Tiergarten Member or the porous, chalk-like Buix Member, respectively, is well-defined. No ammonites have yet been found in the Grellingen Member. Ammonites of the Antecedens Subchron occur below in the Sornetan Member (Duong 1974. Pl. 3. Fig. 1. refigured by Gygi 1995. Fig. 25) and above in the Buix Member (Gygi 1995. Fig. 14). The age of the Grellingen Member is thus a fraction of the Antecedens Subchron. The Grellingen Member forms the lower part of the St-Ursanne Formation everywhere in northwestern Switzerland where the formation occurs, except for a relatively narrow strip where the lower St-Ursanne Formation is oolitic/oncolitic (Delémont Member). The correlation of the Grellingen Member can be read from figure 1.
