At Bletterbach, the stratigraphically lowest lead-zinc mineralisation occurs just below the cephalopod bank, on both sides of the gorge, west of the Butterloch waterfall. The mineralised succession measures about 1.5 m and comprises black, carbonaceous siltstone, lenses of coal and bituminous sandstone with typical concretions of slightly dolomitic limestone. The mineralisation, consisting mainly of galena and sphalerite, is disseminated in all lithotypes, but is concentrated around carbonate concretions.
