An Entity of Type: lake, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Eckfelder Maar is a former volcanic lake, that was formed during the Middle Eocene around 44.3 million years ago and is thus the oldest known maar. It lies in the southwestern Eifel mountains near Manderscheid in Germany. It is also an important fossil site that contains numerous fossil remains of fauna and flora, some of them nearly complete state of preservation. It has been continuously scientifically researched since 1987. The large number of finds - to date 25,000 fossil specimens have been found - have enabled a very detailed reconstruction of the landscape. This maar, a low volcanic crater, along with research areas at the Grube Messel and the Geiseltal valley, is one of the foremost palaeontological sites for this geological epoch in Central Europe and worldwide.

dbo:abstract
  • Eckfelder Maar​ Das Eckfelder Maar ist ein ehemaliger Vulkansee, der zur Zeit des Mittleren Eozäns vor rund 44 Millionen Jahren bestand und heute in der südwestlichen Eifel bei Manderscheid liegt. Es stellt eine bedeutende Fossillagerstätte dar, die zahlreiche, zum Teil vollständige Fossilreste der ehemaligen Fauna und Flora birgt und die seit 1987 kontinuierlich wissenschaftlich untersucht wird. Die überaus zahlreichen Funde ermöglichen eine recht detailreiche Rekonstruktion der Landschaft. Das Maar gehört neben der Grube Messel und dem Geiseltal zu den vorrangigsten Fundstellen aus dieser geologischen Epoche in Mitteleuropa und weltweit. (de)
