Geological overview map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:200,000 (GÜK200) - CC 3902 Lingen (Ems)

Blatt Lingen depicts the North German lowlands in the border area between Germany and the Netherlands, with the Münstersche Kreidsenke cut into in the south-east corner of the map section. The morphology of the North German lowlands is shaped by the Ice Age. The deposits of the Elster, Saale and Vistula glacial include deposits of terminal moraines, boulder clay/marl of the ground moraines, fluvial and glacial fluviatile sands, glacial basin silts and aeolian formations such as loess and shifting sands. The glacial relics are found in the river valleys and depressions e.g. T. overlaid by Holocene river, bog or lake sediments. The south-east corner of the map sheet shows the Münster chalk basin, which is filled with up to 2000 m thick chalk sediment layers. The trough structure causes older rocks to bite outwards from the central part of the basin. The Campanian in the center of the basin is followed by outcrops of Santon, Coniac, Turonian, Cenoman (Upper Cretaceous) and Alb, Apt, Barreme, Hauterive and Valangin (Lower Cretaceous) at the basin edge. Overburdens of quaternary loose sediments are also widespread in this area. In addition to the legend, which provides information about the age, genesis and petrography of the units shown, a geological profile provides additional insights into the structure of the subsoil. The south-north section crosses the Münstersche Kreidesenke and the North German lowlands.
