Dolomite outcrops at 1,720 m asl.
Located on the south slope of Gandhorn mountain.
(Note: it is not possible that the outcrop is at 1720m and on the southern slope of Gandhorn; ACA).
Due to several rock slides in this area, the landscape has changed dramatically since the outcrops were first investigated by Graeser in 1965.
Therefore, the two outcrops are almost impossible to distinguish nowadays.
Also, the abundance of the minerals described by Graeser has severely changed, and there were new minerals discovered that seemed initially not present.
