!!!Dachsteinkalk

Dachstein Limestone, widely spread rock formation of the Northern 
limestone range, light gray and whitish, mostly well-stratified rock 
with fossils ("Kuhtritte", shell fragments), originated in the late 
Triassic period around 220 million years ago; karstic high plains 
and caves. Along with the Dachstein mountain itself, many other 
mountains largely consist of Dachstein limestone, such as the 
Tennengebirge mountains, Hagengebirge mountains, Totes Gebirge 
mountains, Hochschwab mountain and Schneeberg mountain. The more 
massive Dachstein reef limestone forms the basic composition of the 
prominent Gosaukamm crest and others.
