Heunisch, C., 1996. Palynological investigations in the Upper Keuper of northwestern Germany. N. Jb. Geol. Palaont. Abh. 200 (1/2), pp. 87-105. Abstract: This palynological study has been carried out on sections of Rhaetian age along the Mittelland Canal near Sehnde (Hannover, Lower Saxony) and outcrops in the Upper Keuper of eastern Westphalia (Rudenberg, Horn-Bad Meinberg). The Middle Rhaetian of Sehnde contains a rich association of phytoplanktonic taxa, indicating an open marine environment in a mid-basin position. In contrast the Westphalian sections, which are considerably condensed as compared to those near Sehnde, suggest a palaeogeographical position near the margin of the Rhenish Massif.
