Abstract

An account of the Purbeck-Wealden beds in Bornholm and a brief summary of similar beds in the Scanian-Pomeranian area are given.

Two faunas are described from the Jydegaard Formation. A Cypridea-fauna is correlated with Wealden 3 in Northwest Germany. It is followed by an ostracod-assemblage, known from Northwest Germany, indicating brackish-marine environments corresponding to Wealden 3 or 4 of the German subdivision. Two new ostracod species are described.

Two other faunas have moreover been identified, a brackish one in the Rabekke Formation and a brackish-marine one in the inlier at Salene. The former contains elements suggesting a Middle Purbeck age.
