Geological map of Denmark, 1:200.000 - The Danish Central Graben: Base Cretaceous and the Cromer Knoll Group

The dataset comprises a geological map of the Danish Central Graben at a scale of 1:200,000 presenting regional maps of ‘Base Cretaceous’ and the Cromer Knoll Group. The map was published in 1995 as part of the DGU Map Series no. 49 and was produced as part of a comprehensive geological mapping of the Danish Central Graben. The mapping is based on regional interpretation of seismic data supplemented by information from boreholes. The map covers the Danish part of the Central Graben and parts of the eastern North Sea, and adjacent areas in the Norwegian, British and German sectors are included in order to define regional structural relationships. The map sheet consists of several thematic sub-maps that together describe the structure and stratigraphy of the area.

Presentation form: Digital map

Purpose: The purpose of the dataset is to document the regional geometry and stratigraphic framework of the Base Cretaceous and the Cromer Knoll Group in the Danish Central Graben, thereby providing a basis for regional-scale stratigraphic and structural interpretation. The dataset is intended for use in geological and geophysical analyses as well as basin and resource studies.

Statement: The map was published as DGU Map Series no. 49 in 1995 and was produced based on regional interpretation of seismic data supplemented by information from boreholes. The mapping work was initiated around 1980 and continued through the 1980s towards the time of publication. The seismic interpretations were used to compile regional structural maps of the Base Cretaceous as well as stratigraphic and structural maps of the Cromer Knoll Group. The dataset represents the geological and geophysical interpretation available at the time of publication.
