Terrigenous fine-grained deposits dominate, but calcarenitic and phosphorit-rich strata are intercalated. The total thickness varies between 25 and 50m. In the eastern and central parts of N Switzerland, sediments Sinemurian in age constitute about 90% of the total thickness. To the West, however, in the Mont Terri area, Pliensbachian and Toarcian deposits form 70% of the total thickness. Stratigraphic gaps occur on a local to regional scale throughout N Switzerland. Such hiatus comprise a subzone to a stage in time. With respect to lithology and fossil content, the Early Jurassic deposits in northern Switzerland are similar to those in SW Germany. Nonetheless, an exact stratigraphic correlation is hardly possible, particulary in the southern and southwestern Folded Jura where distinct facies changes occur over short distances. Revised existing and new litho- and biostratigraphic data form the base to refine the stratigraphic subdivision of the deposits that have been informally called "Lias”. The name Staffelegg Formation is suggested and defined as the mapping unit for the Early Jurassic. The Staffelegg Formation is introduced for Early Jurassic sediments in northern Switzerland between the Doubs River and Mt. Weissenstein in the west and the Randen Hills located north of the city of Schaffhausen in the east. The Staffelegg Formation starts within the Planorbis zone of the Hettangian. The upper boundary to the overlying Aalenian Opalinus-Ton is diachronous. The lithostratigraphic names previously in use have been replaced by new ones, in accordance within the rules of lithostratigraphic nomenclature. The Staffelegg Formation comprises 11 members and 9 beds. Several of these beds are important correlation horizons in terms of allostratigraphy. Some of them correspond to strata or erosional unconformities encountered in the Swabian realm, some of them can be correlated with strata in the Paris basin. The facies transition to the Paris basin is expressed by introduction of a corresponding lithostratigraphic unit.
