Jurassic palynostratigraphy of Bornholm, Baltic Sea, Denmark

Abstract

Samples of the Rønne Formation have been collected from exposures at Munkerup, Sose Bugt and Galgeløkke and n.vo boreholes, Galgeløkke-1 and -2, at Galgeløkke south of Rønne (Fig. 1). The Hasle Formation was sampled at the type section south of Hasle harbour, at Korsodde and from the Levka-1 and Hasle-1 boreholes. The Baga Formation, that consists of the previously defined Levka, Sorthat and Baga beds (Gry, 1969; Gravesen et al. 1982), was sampled from Mo sections within the Hasle Klinkerfabrik clay pit, from the coastal section at Korsodde, and from four cored boreholes the Levka-1, 106, 107 and 109 at the Hasle Klinkerfabrik clay pit (Nielsen & Koppelhus 1989, 1991; Koppelhus & Nielsen 1994). The samples were processed for their palynological content using the standard techniques developed at the Geological Survey of Denmark (Poulsen et al, 1990). They were examined by transmitted light microscopy. All of the slides are stored in the collections of the Department of Stratigraphy. at the Geological Survey of Denmark.
