Locality 119, unit B3, Kap København (Pleistocene of Greenland)

Where: Greenland (82.5° N, 24.1° W: paleocoordinates 82.4° N, 23.0° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Kap København Formation, Gelasian (2.6 - 1.8 Ma)

• Kap København Formation and the Fishcreekian are considered to be correlative and slightly younger than the Cibicides grossa zone (c. 2.5 Ma), approximately c. 2.4 Ma at the Praetiglian/Tiglian bundary. Age estimate based on foraminifer fauna pointing to Plio-Pleistocene age, reversed paleomagnetism in fine-grained part of the sequence supporting correlation with Matuyama Chron and amino acid racemization of bivalve shells.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shoreface; poorly lithified siliciclastic sediments

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: Repository: Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen
