Short summary
The Mühlbach series has been given as evidence for a Late Pliocene/Early Pleistocene Aare–Rhine fluvial system in northern Switzerland and southwest Germany.

Beside methodological implications, our studies recommend caution regarding the interpretation of stratigraphic units for which limited data are available.
