During part of the Tertiary (approx. 35 to 30 million years ago), the entire South Limburg was flooded by the Middle Oligocene sea. In this sea, three sand and clay pebbles were deposited that together are considered to be part of the Rupel Formation.
The middle package is named after this old abandoned quarry.
This quarry is the TYPE LOCATION for the Sand of Waterwal in the Netherlands.
