Definition

Böhm Florian, Dommergues Jean-Louis, Meister Christian (1995) : Breccias of the Adnet Formation: indicators of a Mid-Liassic tectonic event in the Northern Calcareous Alps (Salzburg/Austria). Geol. Rundschau 84, 272-286

p.273: The Schmiedwirt Member is characterized by medium- to thin-bedded intraclastic wackestones with ostracodes, sponge spicules and crinodal debris, partly showing a nodular fabric. It is best exposed in the Schmiedwirt quarry (Fig. 2). Only its lower part is preserved at Adnet and Breitenberg. It is of Sinemurian age and constitutes the major part of the 'Adneter Kalke s. str.' of Tollmann (1976a).
