Palaeogeography and facies distribution in the Tertiary of Denmark and surrounding areas.

A short review of the stratigraphical terminology and nomenclature of the Danish Tertiary is presented. The lower Paleocene (Danian) is lithologically similar to the Upper Cretaceous but has a more variable facies distribution, and is mainly restricted to the area north of the Fyn-Ringkøbing ridge....
