Describing the Middle Miocene Leitha Limestone and its related lithologic and stratigraphic units in the context of the criteria proposed for 'Global Heritage Stone Resource' (B. COOPER, 2015, Spec. Publ. Geol. Soc. London, 407) many new data from the project 'Stone Monuments and Stone Quarrying in the Carnuntum - Vindobona

The Leitha Limestone s.l., which has been proposed for Global Heritage Stone listing, comprises the red algae dominated sediments of shallow water carbonate platforms distributed around the Leitha Mountains, the Ruster Hills and other parts of the Vienna Basin.

The Leitha Limestone of Badenian age (Middle Miocene) at the type-locality in Grosshoeflein (Burgenland, Austria) is characterized by biostromal coral-rich strata which were reinterpreted from an actualistic viewpoint in comparison with Recent Caribbean and Arabian Gulf coral communities. The investigated outcrop (quarry "Fenk") is interpreted as a sequence of biostromal framebuilding ...

The Leitha Limestone is a consolidated, light-coloured algal limestone and is rich in remains of sea creatures such as mussels, gastropods and sharks. In contrast, slightly older, quartz-rich, sandy gravels occur on the Rust Ridge. Separated by a tectonic displacement from the Leitha Limestone, two very different parent rocks of the vineyard ...

Biostromal Coral Facies—A Miocene Example from the Leitha Limestone (Austria) and its Actualistic Interpretation

Previously, Lower Austria's capital was Vienna, even though Vienna has not officially been part of Lower Austria since 1921. With a land area of 19,186 km 2 (7,408 sq mi) and a population of 1.612 million people, Lower Austria is the country's largest state; it is the second most populous after the federal state of Vienna.
