A bstract The aim of the present investigation is to examine the significance of the second derivative for the purpose of the prospective determination of the geological properties of the district of Offenburg, which are relatively wellknown as a result of both reflection seismic and bore profile findings. The calculation of the second derivative is carried out by means of three approximation formulae, which are compared with each other. In contrast to the isogam map the second derivative shows some additional characteristics, whose structural significance illuminates the comparison with the results of reflection seismics. A geological profile constructed on the basis of 6 wells completely confirms the geophysical findings.
