The biostratigraphic position of the Kap København Formation based upon its foraminifera

Two lithological units are distinguished in the Kap Kebenhavn Formation (Funder & Hjort 1980; Funder et al. 1984; Funder et al. 1985): a lower member A composed mainly of clay, and an upper member B composed mainly of sand. An upper subunit of the latter. 82, comprises silty deposits. These sedi...

Description
Summary:Two lithological units are distinguished in the Kap Kebenhavn Formation (Funder & Hjort 1980; Funder et al. 1984; Funder et al. 1985): a lower member A composed mainly of clay, and an upper member B composed mainly of sand. An upper subunit of the latter. 82, comprises silty deposits. These sediments are in many places deformed and disturbed, partly squeezed and overthrusted. most probably by subsequent overriding glaciers. This blurs the stratigraphic picture at many places.
