Spheroidal to oval oncolites ("Eichenberger Kugeln" - "Eichenberg balls") partly containing fossilised snails (Turritella), shell fragments and reed fragments. Some snails contain voids the walls of which are encrusted with calcite crystals, and rarely baryte.
These oncolites are found in clayey sediments (soft to hard) of a molasse formation ("Obere Süßwassermolasse").

Several outcrops in steep creek gullies W of the Eichenberg (793 m).
