The group is also known from boreholes on the islands of Læsø (Bahnson et al 1986) and Anholt (Seidenkrantz 1993) and from the Swedish west coast (Klingberg 1997), and it has been correlated over major parts of the Kattegat by seismic studies (Nielsen & Konradi 1990; Gyldenholm et al 1993). Similar marine units, found along the Norwegian southwest coast and in the North Sea, are also correlated with the Skærumhede Group (Feyling‐Hanssen et al 1971; Knudsen 1985b; Sejrup et al 2000; Larsen et al 2009).…”

The Quaternary sedimentary succession in Vendsyssel, northern Denmark, contains a unique, high-resolution record of the last interglacial and glacial periods. There is still much debate, however, about the timing and ice extent in this southwestern part of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet, particularly during the Middle Weichselian. In this study, a detailed lithostratigraphical subdivision is established for the Late Saalian to Middle Weichselian Skaerumhede Group on the basis of numerous, up to 250 m deep, boreholes in Vendsyssel. The sediments mainly consist of marine clays, glaciolacustrine sediments and tills, and the total thickness of the Skaerumhede Group is up to 140 m. Marine intervals have been used as stratigraphical marker units to separate the formations indicative of ice-sheet activity in Vendsyssel, and the timing of the events has been constrained by a large number of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon ages. The Skaerumhede Group is subdivided into seven formations and two members, reflecting shifts between marine and terrestrial sedimentation caused by fluctuations of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet and changes in sea level. The lowermost Skaerumhede Till Formation was deposited directly on top of the bedrock during the Warthe advance c. 160-140 kyr BP. Above, there are fine-grained marine sediments, subdivided into the Lower, Middle and Upper Skaerumhede Clay Formations. The marine formations are separated by the Brønderslev Formation related to the Sundsøre ice advance from the north c. 65-60 kyr BP, and the Å sted Formation, deposited during the Ristinge advance from an east-southeastern direction c. 55-50 kyr BP. The uppermost formation in the group is the Lønstrup Klint Formation, which is an upwards-coarsening sequence of mainly glaciolacustrine sediments deposited prior to the Kattegat advance c. 30-29 kyr BP. The new evidence from Vendsyssel has shown that the Skaerumhede Group covers a large area, and that it can be used as a regional stratigraphical marker horizon. Furthermore, it contributes to a better understanding of the timing and extent of glacial events during the Late Saalian to Middle Weichselian in southwest Scandinavia.

“…7), whereas the sediments in Skagerrak, Vendsyssel and Kattegat were deposited in deeper waters (e.g. Seidenkrantz 1993; Knudsen 1994; Klingberg 1997; Knudsen et al 2009). In southern and central Jutland, a broad dead‐ice landscape developed after deglaciation with a large number of kettle holes; these were subsequently filled with meltwater clay and solifluction material (Jessen & Milthers 1928; Andersen 1967).…”

“…GFF 120 (1998) Shore level displacement An rough understanding of the shore level displacement during Late Saalian, Eemian and Early Weichselian can be determined by combining the information from Holmagärde (Påsse 1992a), Gåsakulla (Klingberg 1997) and Skrea-Vinberg. As the datings presented in this paper require some reservations due to their poor reliability, this curve is only valid assuming the interstadial unit K is of Early Weichselian age.…”
