Abstract
Abstract The Albian to Santonian succession of Bornholm, Denmark, is reviewed. The lithological data and major fossil groups encountered within the formations are examined, including new biostratigraphic data. Foraminifera, palynomorphs, belemnites, ammonites, and inoceramid bivalves are all important for the dating of the succession. Major transgressive phases are recognised in the Early Albian and Early Cenomanian, with an intervening regressive event. A highstand systems tract was formed during the Middle Cenomanian. A “mid‐Cenomanian” non‐sequence is noted and is equated to a major transgressive surface. Several transgressive surfaces are evident in the Late Cenomanian to earliest Coniacian, possibly with intervening regressive events. A second major highstand system tract is recognised in the Coniacian to Early?‐Middle Santonian, with a gradual decline in effective water depth up the succession.
