“…The investigated cored rocks from the wells B18-02 and 7/7-2 yielded only a few belemnites. This seems in line with other records from the North Sea area, where belemnites findings seem mainly confined to shallow and condensed deposits (Pinckney & Rawson, 1974; Swinnerton & Kent, 1981, p. 60–63; Jeremiah et al, 2010, p. 210). In addition, Sorgenfrei & Buch (1964) mention specimens from northern Denmark (core E-1).…”

Herein, Ryazanian (Berriasian) macrofossils from three well cores in the Central Graben (wells B18-02, L06-02, The Netherlands) and on the Jæren High (well 7/7-2, Norway) in the southern North Sea region are described. Macrofossils are mainly represented by buchiid bivalves (Buchia volgensis) and ammonites (Surites, Lynnia and Praetollia?). The genus Lynnia is recorded for the first time outside its topotypical area, and its systematic position and stratigraphic ranges are discussed. Additionally, the studied core sections yielded coleoid remains and a single limid bivalve. Based on the stratigraphic ranges of key ammonite genera (Lynnia, Surites and Bojarkia), the zonation of the Ryazanian stage is reconsidered. Uppermost Volgian to Ryazanian ammonite faunas are quite consistent and diverse but showing a higher degree of similarity throughout the Panboreal Superrealm as compared to those from rest of the Upper Volgian and the Middle Volgian. Buchia volgensis is the only species known from the southern North Sea and East Anglia, which is in strong contrast to the high diversity of Buchia in East Greenland and the remainder of the Boreal Realm. We hypothesise that such differences in the distribution of ammonites and bivalves in general, and the absence of buchiid species other than Buchia volgensis south of East Greenland in particular, are the result of anoxic bottom water conditions in the southern Viking Strait. The unusually wide geographic range of B. volgensis, which is known from such distant areas as Mexico and the Crimea, suggests a potential higher tolerance of this species to adverse conditions.

A cored Jurassic sequence from north Lincolnshire, England: stratigraphy, facies analysis and regional context

SummaryA virtually complete Jurassic sequence recently drilled in north Lincolnshire is considered in a regional context. Liassic thicknesses and facies are largely unexceptional. The Frodingham and Pecten Ironstones are relatively thin and sandy, but the Marlstone Rock Bed is thicker and more ferruginous than elsewhere in the region. The Inferior Oolite is exceptionally thick and exhibits strong deltaic influence; equivalents of the Gristhorpe Member and Scarborough Formation of Yorkshire may be present. The Great Oolite was deposited in coastal-lacustrine-deltaic environments, more proximal than to the south or east. Thin Kellaways Clay separates the argillaceous Cornbrash from the Kellaways Sand. The organic-rich Lower Oxford Clay is thin owing to a basal non-sequence whilst the Upper Oxford Clay is condensed and less organic than in the East Midlands. The regressive West Walton Beds are followed by very thick Ampthill and Kimmeridge Clay sections beneath the Spilsby Sandstone. Regional thickness and facies analysis records the behaviour of the Market Weighton Block and reveals the influence of the Pennine High as both a positive tectonic feature and an occasionally active sediment source.

Bronze Age Accessory Cups from Lincolnshire: Early Bronze Age Pot?

Sixteen accessory or pygmy cups of the Early Bronze Age front Lincolnshire are illustrated and discussed for the first time: many were previously unpublished. The possible origins of the cups are considered and it is suggested that they had organic counterparts in domestic use more suitable for the lifestyle of the early 2nd millennium BC. The use of grog tempered fabrics is considered, leading to the concept of ritual use of the cups in traditional rites connecting society with its past. In the Early Bronze Age it seems very likely that the use of pottery was restricted to special occasions, and the cups in particular were used for drinking and smoking sessions, recognisable as part of both modern and past social gatherings and ceremonies.
