Figure 11. Liesegang rings in sediments and fossils.

Figure 11

(A) Neochetoceras cf. mohri with lamellaptychus in the body chamber, Tithonian, Late Jurassic, Eichstätt, Germany; Liesegang rings deflected by the topography created by the collapsed ammonoid conch and the aptychus. (B–D) Liesegang rings in Fe-rich sediments of the Famennian near Madene El Mrakib, Morocco. (B) Section through bedding. (C and D) bedding plane; (C) detail of D; D, hammer (300 m) for scale. (E and F) Large sandstone boulders, probably correlate of the Hangenberg Sandstone, latest Famennian, near Madene El Mrakib, Morocco; note the desert varnish in E and the differential weathering depending on mineral content in F.
