Abstract

The Danish-Polish Trough—a northwest to southeast striking basin—is bordered by the Fennoscandian Shield in the north and the Ringkobing-Fyn High in the south. During the Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary carbonate sedimentation prevailed. Locally small bryozoan mounds were formed during the Upper Maastrichtian. The bulk of bryozoan bioherms originated during the Danian B to C. Coral communities and coral mounds are confined to the Danian C. About five coral limestone localities occur within the Danish-Polish Trough; Fakse is the most important one.
