Triassic heavy-mineral associations in Denmark

Gunnar Larsen, Henrik Friis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter in bookResearch

Abstract

The investigation comprises heavy-mineral analyses of 14 samples from the Triassic sequence of Denmark. The geological significance of the heavy-mineral associations is discussed. In the Bunter a "Garnet province" including the South Danish/North German region occurs, supposedly of Scandinavian origin. Along the margin of the basin towards Fennoscandia a marginal facies of coarse arkoses is found. The heavy-mineral associations of these arkoses are interpreted as reflecting a detritus supply from locally exposed rocks. In the Keuper associations an inkling is given of a subdivision in heavy-mineral provinces, which locally are strongly obliterated by diagenetic destruction.
