The Solling Formation is a geologic formation in Germany.[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/displayStrata?geological_group=Buntsandstein&formation=Solling&group_formation_member=Solling Solling Formation] at Fossilworks.org Formerly considered earliest Triassic (Induan), but later dating places the formation from the Olenekian to Anisian of the Triassic period.
Description
The formation is subdivided into three members, the lower Solling-Bausandstein Member, the Trendelburg/Karlshafen Beds and the upper Chirotherium Sandstone Member.
