Dinoflagellate analyses indicate a Thanetian age (Def/andrea speciosa zone) for part of the plastic clays exposed in the Vejle Fjord area. The clays are compared with similar Paleocene sediments from several borings in Denmark. The gray, non-calcareous clay at Stolle Klint, Fur, is correlated with the lower part of the ash-bearing series.
