Conceptual comparison of the three dominating seismic facies types interpreted in this study with outcrop analog observations of the Upper Jurassic outcrops from the Swabian Alb. A bioherm/reef debris (= subparallel low amplitude seismic facies) comprised of large olistoliths can be up to 40–50 m thick and are typically present during the (late) HST of sequence 3. B Onlaps of the well-bedded basin facies (= parallel high-amplitude seismic facies) onto the bioherm/reef buildups (chaotic seismic facies) show a very sharp contact and can be frequently observed in the field. C Well-bedded limestone with frequent clay–marly alternations interpreted as basin facies observed in the outcrop and interpreted as parallel high-amplitude seismic facies
