Photographs of the most impressive details of the Ries seismite and distal Ries ejecta that caps the Ries seismite from the outcrops discussed in the present study. (a) Primary (in situ deposited) horizon of distal Ries ejecta with angular Upper Jurassic limestone components from the former sandpit Ziemetshausen (photographs: a was taken by Peter Bockstaller, Schopfheim, in 2005; bd taken by V.J.S. in 2020–2021, spade and hammer for scale). (b) Slump with internal convolute bedding in the Ries seismite from the Tobel Oelhalde-Nord (Hochgeländ); (c) Thrust fault-like slump in the Ries seismite from the Josefstobel (Hochgeländ plateau south of Biberach an der Riß); (d) Distinct fault- and fold-like structures in convolute bedding in the lower (Ries) seismite horizon from the Josefstobel (Hochgeländ plateau south of Biberach an der Riß).
