Abstract
Small quantities of fluorite occur as sand- and silt-sized material in a Cretaceous/Tertiary chalk-marl-limestone sequence at Stevns Klint and in a Lower Maastrichtian Chalk sequence at Møns Klint, Denmark. The habit of the fluorite is either hexahedral or irregular. The fluorite grains enclose calcite particles that commonly have a parallel optical orientation. On the basis of morphology and inclusions, it is suggested that the fluorite is diagenetic, having formed by replacement of skeletal grains.
