Where: Denmark (55.7° N, 12.6° E: paleocoordinates 49.9° N, 9.3° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Lellinge Greensand Formation, Selandian (61.6 - 59.2 Ma)

• 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.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; poorly lithified, glauconitic, green, argillaceous sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: bulk, mechanical,

• Restudy of Harder's classical collection
