[1] The Coeval on the lowermost part Scheck Member has evidence of a series of large scale tectonic activities culminating during the late Pliensbachian and early Toarcian, probably linked to the Vulcanism of the adjacent Irkut Basin.

[1] In contrast to the "Adneter Mergel", the Saubach Formation lacks grey marls.

[3] In the type area, located at the Saubachgraben near Hintersee [de] (largely destroyed and buried) consists of predominantly red sequences.

In some locations, such as Gaissau, the Saubach Formation is dominated by red condensed limestones with only minor marl intercalations.

[4] Later it was shown that the Saubach Member and the Saubach formation belong to a unique entity, that can be called by both names, and represent a series of marls deposited on marginal marine to Pelagic environments, linked with the Red Marl of the Sachrang Formation.

A group of Bioclastic wackestone is present, and consists of a micro-matrix with plenty of thin shell remains scattered loosely.

A series of greenish-gray marl Lime facies is rich in Ammonites, including the species Collina cf.

Related with the more common and more studied coal sections of the lower liassic of Gresten.

Pollen from arboreal plants related with modern Ginkos, probably from nearshore forests.

Ataphrus[7] Shells A Sea Snail, type member of the family Ataphridae inside Trochoidea.

This Nautiloid is one of the most abundant local cephalopods on the Toarcian Strata, linked to the most nearshore horizons of the Formation.

Small marine ostracods related with abundant Green Algae environments Gramannicythere[10] Valves An Ostracodan of the family Pontocyprididae.

Small marine ostracods Cardobairdia[10] Valves An Ostracodan of the family Saipanettidae.

Most diverse genus found on the formation Isobythocypris[10] Valves An Ostracodan of the family Bairdiidae.

Ostracods found on Epicontinental waters Ophioliassica[11] Fragmentary Arms A Brittle star of the Family Myophiuroida.

Pentacrinites[11] Stems A Sea Lily, type genus of the Family Pentacrinitidae.

Along with the genus Seridocrinus, Pentacrinites is the most known Pelagic Crinoid, linked to large tree rafts, as recovered on Holzmaden deposits from the same age.

This new species and new genus shows a typical Palaeozoic "Microantyx"-type wheel from Early Jurassic sediments, being possibly related to the Ophiocistioidea family.
