Detailed facies analyses have been carried out on the Triassic Skagerrak Formation on core material from the Thisted-2 well, Denmark. Facies patterns in the sediments show affinity to present day river models. The informations are combined into a braidplain model in which the proximal braidplain was composed of featureless Platte-type streams. Deeper South Saskatchewan-type streams represented the intermediate braidplain. The distal braidplain was dominated by ephemeral streams. Towards north and northeast coalescing alluvial fans formed the immediate connection to the source area, the Fennoscandian Shield.
