Translation from German into English of https://media.lgrb-bw.de/link/gto/gto_6457.pdf :
"The abandoned quarry no. III on the Orberg opens up a steep carbonatite vein up to 10 m wide. It has intruded its host rock, a grey-green, already heavily weathered subvolcanic breccia, and also forms the rock head in the upper part. The carbonatite consists of calcite, little magnetite, apatite, and mica (similar to the Badberg carbonatite). The subvolcanic breccia consists of angular to slightly rounded fragments of different types of rock, and its structure can only be recognized after severe weathering. Constituents of the breccia are essexite, phonolite and carbonatite consolidated by calcitic and zeolitic binders."
