Schematic description of the sedimentological situation (left), outcrop photographs, and event stratigraphic interpretion of the sedimentologic succession (right) in the Dietenwengen sand and gravel pit (near Eberhardzell, ~ 2 km east of the Hochgeländ plateau; outcrop no. 4 in the text). In this outcrop, the effects of the seismic event linked with the Steinheim impact are represented by slumps, convolute bedding, and ball-and-pillow structures within the upper seismite unit (all photographs taken by V.J.S. in 2021).
