Geography
| Country: | Denmark |
| Coordinates: | 55.7° North, 12.6° East (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 49.9° North, 9.3° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
| Geographic resolution: | small collection |
Time
| Period: | Paleogene | Epoch: | Paleocene |
| Stage: | Selandian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 1 |
| Key time interval: | Selandian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 61.60000 - 59.20000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Lellinge Greensand | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: In Copenhagen the lower part of the Lellinge Greensand contains nannofossils of lower NP5 (Stouge et al., 2000) and planktonic foraminifera of subzone P3a or older. In the dark clay at a higher level, planktonic foraminifera indicate zone P3. Together, suggests an early Selandian age. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | fine,brown poorly lithified argillaceous sandstone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: 0.75 m brown, clayey fine sand, downwards with gradual and rapid transition | |
| Environment: | transition zone/lower shoreface |
| Glacial or sequence phase: | transgressive |
| Geology comments: The Lellinge Greensand was deposited in shallow water depths under relatively high energy conditions as indicated by the presence of cross bedding, phosphate nodules, and rolled fossils (Gry 1935, Heilmann-Clausen 1995, Claus Heilmann-Clausen pers. com. in Clause & Huuse 2002). The lithological description from Sundkrogen seems lower-energy due to the clayey nature of the units, but overall the Lellinge Greensand is the onshore equivalent to the offshore North Sea Marl, so an offshore-transition environment is assigned. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Preservation of anatomical detail: | good |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | bulk,mechanical,survey of museum collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Restudy of Harder's classical collection | |
| Taxonomic list comments:Focus on molluscs - other taxa not precisely assigned to beds | |
