Stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of the early Jurassic volcaniclastic strata at Djupadalsmölla, central Skåne, Sweden

Av de nästan 200 blottningarna av vulkaniska bergarter som kan ses i Central Skåne Volcanic Province (CSVP) består endast tre av vulkanoklastiskt material. Stratigrafin i dessa avlagringar vars förhållande till underliggande urberg har för första gången beskrivits i en borrkärna (KBH2) från Djupadalsmölla för att bestämma stratigrafin samt avsättningsprocessen, åldern och avsättningsmiljön. BorrkäFrom the almost 200 volcanic outcrops in the Central Skåne Volcanic Province (CSVP), only three are of volcaniclastic material. These volcanoclastics, and the transition to the underlying crystalline basement, have been investigated for the first time in a drill core (KBH2) from Djupadalsmölla in order to understand the stra-tigraphy, depositional process, age of deposition, and depositional envir
