Upper Keuper
The Upper Keuper (German: Obere Keuper, also Oberkeuper, Rhätkeuper, Rätkeuper) or Rhätsandstein (Rhätsandstein) is a lithostratigraphic subgroup of the Keuper in the Germanic Trias. It currently has only one formation, the Exter Formation. The lithostratigraphic unit is underlain by the Middle Keuper subgroup and overlain, in the North German Basin, by the Lias and, in the South German Basin by the Black Jurassic.

gollark: Sure, I guess.
gollark: No, but it's nice to be able to refer to "Protagonism Street" and have there be no ambiguity.
gollark: ./warp choruscity
gollark: Which we probably do have right now, actually. There are something like... three cities. Cherryville is tiny, Chorus City uses weird names picked by me, and Switch City, well, has roads.
gollark: But I mean globally unique street names in Switchcraft.
