Kristianstad Basin (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Kristianstad Basin (Swedish: Kristianstadsbassängen) is a Cretaceous-age structural basin and geological formation in northeastern Skåne, the southernmost province of Sweden. The basin extends from Hanöbukten, a bay in the Baltic Sea, in the east to the town of Hässleholm in the west and ends with the two horsts Linderödsåsen and in the south. The basin's northern boundary is more diffuse and there are several outlying portions of Cretaceous-age sediments. During the Cretaceous, the region was a shallow subtropical to temperate inland sea and archipelago. Though the sediments in the basin range in age from the Barremian to the earliest Maastrichtian, the only accessible strata are from the Late Cretaceous, ranging in age from the Early or early Middle Santonian to the earliest Maastrichtian. A majority of the fossil sites only expose strata of latest Early Campanian age (c. 80.5 million years ago). Fossils from these sites have been collected since the 18th century, but most of the excavations have taken place through commercial quarrying in the 20th century and paleontological expeditions in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Early Campanian deposits of the Kristianstad Basin preserve fossils of a diverse array of organisms, including algae, brachiopods, bryozoans, molluscs (notably large numbers of bivalves and belemnites), sea urchins and fish (including a large amount of shark species). The Kristianstad Basin has also yielded fossils of several varieties of reptiles, including plesiosaurs, turtles and crocodylomorphs, as well as one of the most diverse mosasaur faunas in the world and some of the few non-avian dinosaurs known from Sweden.

Kristianstadsbassängen eller Kristianstadsbäckenet är en geologisk formation centrerad kring Kristianstad och kringliggande område i nordöstra Skåne. Bassängen bevarar avlagringar från delar av yngre krita. Sådana fynd inkluderar kvarlevor av dinosaurier, mosasaurier, plesiosaurier, hajar och ännu mer. Kristianstadsbassängen är Sveriges rikaste fossilfyndplats vad avser mesozoiska djur. (sv)

Dinosaur fossils recovered in the Kristianstad Basin include the remains of a leptoceratopsid similar to Leptoceratops , small ornithopods similar to Thescelosaurus and Hypsilophodon as well as a small theropod dinosaur, whose fragmentary remains were identified as from a non-avian theropod through comparisons with the Australian Australovenator .
