<<Also, a comment on the article points out that the sedimentology
resembles Late Jurassic lithographic limestones, and they wonder if the
135 Ma age is really supposed to be 153 Ma.>>
I know nothing of relevance other than exposures of Solnhofen Kalkstein
occur in Kelheim too, and those can resemble lithographic limestone
because that's what they are! Also, and I'm 70 km north of Solnhofen, I
don't recall having heard of any Lower Cretaceous terrestrial critters
from this general area. For example, quarries to the north of Nuremberg
in the so called Fränkische Schweiz cough up remains from various Upper
Jurassic ammonite zones.
