    Abstract

    Pa!eogene and Pleistocene marine beds in a dislocated till sequence at Holmstrup have been correlated by their macro- and microfossil content. By means of tectonic investigations and statistical evaluation of rock components and derived microfossils, the till has been differentiated into four characteristic groups. It has been attempted to make a correlation of the tills on this basis. The Paleogene part is considered to be an Upper Paleocene deposit with agglutinating foraminifera. A faunistic analysis of foraminifera in the Pleistocene beds is believed to indicate a Weichselian interstadial.
