| Stratigraphy comments: Earliest Early Eocene "An Early Eocene age of 54.04 ± 0.14 Ma has been determined for layer +19 and 54.52 ± 0.05 Ma for layer −17 by the Ar40–Ar39 method (Chambers et al. 2003). |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified diatomite | ||
| Secondary lithology: | "volcaniclastic" | ||
| Includes fossils? | Y | ||
| Lithology description: "The Danish insects discussed here are from the marine Fur Formation, about 50-60 m of diatomite and tephra layers, which, with the Ølst Formation, constitute the Mo-clay in the northern Jutland region" Archibald & Makarkin, 2006 | |||
| Environment: | offshore ramp | Tectonic setting: | passive margin |
| Geology comments: The depositional environment was in the Palaeocene–Eocene precursor of the North Sea, which was an almost or entirely enclosed inland body, open to the Atlantic at least at times (Bonde 1997). | |||
