M. Sadolin et al., LACUSTRINE SEDIMENTATION AND TECTONICS - AN EXAMPLE FROM THE WEICHSELIAN AT LONSTRUP-KLINT, DENMARK, Boreas, 26(2), 1997, pp. 113-126
Sedimentological analysis of the Weichselian deposits exposed in the c
oastal clin section at Lonstrup Klint, northern Jutland, Denmark, demo
nstrates the presence of four sedimentary units comprising fine-graine
d lacustrine and fluvial deposits of the latest Middle Weichselian. Th
e Lonstrup Klint section also shows an interplay between glaciotectoni
cs and sedimentation. The two lower sedimentary units are separated by
an erosional unconformity of pretectonic origin, whereas the upper tw
o units are syntectonic. The glaciotectonic processes reflect the Late
Weichselian expansion of the Scandinavian ice cap into northern Jutla
nd. The sedimentary structures indicate high rates of deposition. The
area underwent dramatic palaeogeographic changes from deep lake to pro
glacial fluvial plain in a time-span of a few thousand years.
