Outcrop photos of the Jurassic carbonates from the Franconian Alb (a) showing dissolution along fractures (b–e), intense karstification of massive facies (f–h) and along bedding planes (i), with cavities partly cemented by calcite (g), and reef buildups (j, k). Karst and fractures are the most important controlling factors of the reservoir quality in the research area, but the irregular distribution of karstified and fractured zones makes it necessary to analyse it in 3D using, e.g., seismic methods
