| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
| Stage: | Gelasian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |

Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Kap København | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: 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. | |||||
