Abstract
Abstract At Ullstorp, close to the fault of the Navlingeasen horst in northeastern Scania, Sweden, a 10 m thick Upper Cretaceous terrigenous clastic section underlies medium grained bioclastic limestones. The clastic section is interpreted as having been deposited rapidly in a nearshore environment. The interpretation is based on paleontological and lithological grounds. Two conglomerate beds in the section are interpreted as a result of storm events. A third conglomerate bed, composed of matrix supported angular clasts (many of them glauconite coated), is interpreted as a debris flow deposit. Negative sedimentation is indicated by a glauconite coated hardground near the top of the sequence. Changes in sea level are reflected in the composition of the foraminiferal fauna. Other faunal elements comprise benthic invertebrates of nearshore origin, including a large inoceramid specimen.
