The gravel pits expose high terrace gravels at the edge of the Straubing Plain (Pleistocene Danube Valley). The terrace edge runs not far from the pits, bordering the younger gravels of the Kleine Laber valley. The pit walls exhibit crystalline gravels (high quartz content) and finer-grained interlayers with numerous sedimentary structures and iron and manganese precipitates.
