Johannes has a very interesting post about his memorys on a visit to the (or at least one of the) key sites for the quaternary history of the eastern Alps - Baumkirchen, and his fluvioglacial clays (even if they in reality are fine sands, with "true" clay-minerals missing).
C14 dates have given an age of 31.000 to 27.000 years, a dated wood of Pinus sylvestris - but found in a slumped area- gave a date of 11.000 years B.P (FLIRI 1973).
There were even some fossils, mostly pollen grains and parts of arthropods (ostracods and insects), but also some mysterious ichno-fossils:
