Abstrakt
Sedimentological analysis of the Weichselian deposits exposed in the
coastal cliff section at Lønstrup Klint, northern Jutland, Denmark,
demonstrates the presence of four sedimentary units comprising
fine-grained lacustrine and fluvial deposits of the latest Middle
Wcichselian. The Lønstrup Klint section also shows an interplay between
glaciotectonics and sedimentation. The two lower sedimentary units are
separated by an erosional unconformity of pretectonic origin, whereas
the upper two units are syntectonic. The glaciotectonic processes
reflect the Late Weichselian expansion of the Scandinavian ice cap into
northern Jutland. The sedimentary structures indicate high rates of
deposition. The area underwent dramatic palaeogeographic changes from
deep lake to proglacial fluvial plain in a time-span of a few thousand years.
