Hochfelln is a mountain of Bavaria, Germany located in the Chiemgau Alps. Its summit is 1,674 meters high.[1] Hochfelln overlooks the lake Chiemsee.[2]
Hochfelln includes an area of Early Jurassic calcareous called the Hochfelln Beds, which has a substantial amount of silicified Early Jurassic gastropod fauna -- among the most diverse such assemblages in the Northern Calcareous Alps and Germany. The area also has rock deposits from the late Triassic to Cretaceous eras.[1]
