Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Ever since the first description of fossil material during the mid-nineteenth century, sea grass has been shown to be quite commonly preserved in ‘pockets’ or ‘clumps’ at certain levels within the Gulpen, Maastricht and Kunrade formations in southern Limburg (the Netherlands) and contiguous areas in northeast Belgium. In those places where silicification occurred during early diagenesis, even completely silicified and three-dimensionally preserved stems and roots can be found, mostly of Thalassocharis bosquetii, in association with fully marine molluscs such as dentaliid scaphopods and a range of larger foraminifera, bivalves, gastropods and ammonites. Such occurrences are best known from the Valkenburg, Gronsveld and Emael members of the Maastricht Formation in the Eben Emael (Liège, Belgium) and Sint-Pietersberg (Maastricht, the Netherlands) areas. However, accumulations of sea grasses, littering the sea floor over a considerable areal extent, were never as well observed as in a gully-fill that was discovered and partly excavated in the uppermost Gronsveld Member at the ENCI-HeidelbergCement Group quarry in October 2015. Our preliminary results concern the palaeoenvironment and taphonomy of this deposit and identify some of the more notable members of the associated biota, such as an astropectinid asteroid. |
