The next phase of accumulation is documented by glacial deposits and basin sediments. This Remigen advance of the Beringen glaciation reached far beyond Birrfeld and formed two channels crossing the Lägern structure. Glacial (‘Hausen-Till’) and associated proglacial gravel (‘Remigen-Schotter’) deposits of this advance are found on top of ‘Habsburg-Schotter’ (Fig. 11). The two channels contain basin sediments in glaciolacustrine (‘Hausen-Lehm’, Fig. 11) and partially in sandy facies (‘Reusstal-Sand’, Fig. 12).
