Late Campanian to mid Danian foraminifers in the collections of Museums of East Zealand, Denmark - 02/03/26
Abstract |
The museums of East Zealand are responsible for a diverse palaeontological collection covering several important Danish geological sites, including the Danian deep water coral mounds of Faxe, and the UNESCO World Heritage K/Pg boundary site at Stevns Klint. Within these collections are a number of foraminiferal samples, the oldest of which were deposited at the museum in 1963. The collections contain specimens from four localities each belonging to a different formation. They are primarily benthic foraminifera that were deposited in the collections for display and/or example purposes. Although stratigraphic data and lack of documented collection methods hamper the research that can be carried out with the specimens, they give an overview of taxa present, including specimens from a now inaccessible location. We therefore encourage researchers and collectors to use these representative specimens as a basis for future work and expand this regional collection.
