The Opglabbeek Formation's thickness ranges between 25 metres (82 ft) and 60 metres (200 ft), reaching its greatest thickness as it abuts the Roer Valley Graben. It lies stratigraphically on top of the Houthem Formation (early Paleocene calcareous sandstone). It is the lateral equivalent of the Hainin Formation.
