On the eastern side of the Napf alluvial fan, near Wolhusen, a bentonite horizon has been described by PAVONI & SCHINDLER (1981). A correlation to the bentonite levels of the Zürich region is not yet established, however, given its lithostratigraphic position the Wolhusen bentonite is most probably equivalent to the Urdorf bentonite.
