1.2.1.2. Type-locality and type-section
The coastal cliff at about 2 km. south-west of Djupvik, section 9 (fig. 2).
1.2.1.3. Differential diagnosis
The Djupvik Formation can be distinguished from the underlying "Tessini
sandstone" by the much greater variety of its lithology. It can be differentiated
from the overlying Kopingsklint Formation by its high content of
terrigenous clastics.
1.2.2. Kopingsklint Formation (after the raised sea-cliff between Borgholm
and Kopingsvik, fig. 2).
1.2.2.1. Diagnosis
A unit characterized by red-brown, violet and green micritic to sparritic
limestones, containing remains of fossils, glauconite grains and pyrite crystals.
Intercalations of marl and calcareous glauconite sand occur. Glauconite'
grains are the most frequently occurring allochems.
This formation is subdivided into five informal members, which are named
by combination of the following abbreviations:

The type-section of the
Kopingsklint Formation
and its subdivision
at Kopingsklint (section
1, fig. 2).
Legend: 1 = slightly
glauconitic black shale.
2 = glauconite sand
with a black shale matrix.
3 = highly calcareous
glauconite sand
with a cement of sparry
calcite, often arranged
in rosette-like structures.
4 = fossiliferous
limestone. 5 = glauconitic
limestone. 6 = disconformities.
