Top pre-Zechstein - Geological structures in the Danish subsurface 1:750.000

This dataset depicts the depth to the top of the pre-Zechstein succession in the Danish subsurface. The map represents the structural surface beneath the Zechstein evaporites and provides a regional overview of the geological framework of the subsurface. The dataset is based on interpretation of seismic data, deep boreholes and previous geological mapping and was produced as part of the Geological Survey of Denmark map series no. 45. The map is used as a reference for regional structural geology and subsurface modelling.

Supplemental Information
The dataset represents a historical map product and is not subject to ongoing updates. Later seismic surveys and newly drilled boreholes are not included. The dataset is primarily intended for regional analysis and should not be used for detailed local interpretations without supplementary data.

Statement
The dataset was produced by the Geological Survey of Denmark as part of DGU map series no. 45 and is based on compilation and interpretation of seismic profiles, deep boreholes and existing geological models. The map reflects the interpretation level at the time of publication and was produced in the early 1990s. The production was carried out under the auspices of the Geological Survey of Denmark within the Ministry of Environment and Energy and reflects the contemporary understanding of subsurface structural geology.
