Geological Map of Denmark, 1:400.000 - The Danish Basin: Top Triassic and Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous

The dataset comprises a combined geological map of the Danish Basin showing the distribution, depth conditions, and thickness variations of the Top Triassic and Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous units. The maps illustrate the regional structure and stratigraphic framework of the basin and provide an overview of its geological development from the Late Triassic to the Early Cretaceous. The presentation is based on a synthesis of borehole data, seismic information, and stratigraphic interpretations and is produced at a scale of 1:400.000. The maps were published in 1991 as part of the DGU Map Series No. 30.

Identifier: dk.geus / dk_danish_basin_top_trias_jurassic_lower_cretaceous

Presentation form: Digital map

Purpose: The purpose of the dataset is to document and communicate the regional geological framework of the Top Triassic and Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous units within the Danish Basin. The maps provide a basis for understanding the stratigraphy and structural evolution of the basin and are used in geological research, education, and mineral and hydrocarbon-related studies.

Supplemental Information: The dataset represents a regional overview map based on the geological knowledge and data available at the time of publication. The maps were produced for regional stratigraphic and structural analysis and are not intended for detailed local investigations. The dataset is not subject to continuous updates and should be used in conjunction with more recent geological maps, 3D models, and borehole data where more detailed or up-to-date interpretations are required.

Statement: The maps were produced by the Geological Survey of Denmark (DGU) based on an integrated assessment of available borehole data, seismic information, previous geological maps, and stratigraphic analyses. The data were compiled and interpreted to produce regional depth and thickness maps of the Top Triassic and Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous units within the Danish Basin. The work represents a synthesis of the best available knowledge at the time of publication and was published in 1991 as part of the DGU Map Series No. 30. The dataset is a historical product and is not subject to continuous updates.
