Abstract
Allochthonous deposits are demonstrated in the Maastrichtian succession of pelagic white chalk from the Erslev 3S well. These deposits are conglomerates of chalk pebbles supported by a contorted matrix and are interpreted to be allochthonous units deposited as debris-flows. One unit attains a minimum thickness of 1.25m. A possible trigger for this type of deposition is thought to be a phase of active diapirism in the underlying salt piercement dome.
