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: | glauconitic,green poorly lithified argillaceous sandstone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: Valid for series 1 and 2: 3.5 m green, clayey glauconitic sand, with incrasing grain size upwards. The clay content is distinctly lower in the lower part | |
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 assinged to beds |
