“…Apart from actual mapping these projects include sedimentological and glacial-tectonic investigations of the exposed sequences , for example in gravel pits, with the purpose of contributing to the understanding of the structure, stratigraphy and origin of the glacial landscape . Some earlier results of these investigations have been published by Larsen et al (1972Larsen et al ( , 1973, Liboriussen (1973Liboriussen ( , 1975 and Nielsen (1973).…”

“…In addition to the lithology, transport directions of melt water and glacier ice have been given. Information concerning transport directions from localities described elsewhere has been taken from Larsen et al (I 973) and Liboriussen (1973Liboriussen ( , 1975 . The natural starting point for consideration of Fig.…”

“…12 and 13 show respectively the measured transport directions in the Tebbestrup Formation and the NE till, and these are to a large extent the basis for the following discussion. The information on the map is taken from the account above, together with earlier publications by Larsen et al (1973) and Liboriussen (1973Liboriussen ( , 1975 as well as unpublished reports (J~rgensen, 1974;Priisholm, 1975).…”

The investigations of the glacial sequence in the Randers area include mapping of the surface layers, study of bore profiles and detailed examination of outcrops, concentrating on the determination of transport directions in the deposits.The following stratigraphic succession has been established:Highest: NE tillTebbestrup Formation (melt water deposits)SE tillHaldum Formation (melt water deposits)Lowest: NE tillThe two uppermost units can with certainty be referred to Weichselian. Arguments are presented that the three lowermost units are of Saalian age.The origin of the sequence is discussed. The highest hills in the area (Ølst, Lysnet) were probably formed by the Saalian ice from the NE, since they appear to have influenced flow directions during the deposition of the Haldum Formation. This formation is considered to represent a sandur formed in front of the advancing ice from the SE. In the Weichselian, prior to the formation of the Tebbestrup Formation, the landscape obviously had a varied relief. The formation which infills the lower parts of this landscape is considered as a sandur, formed in front of the advancing ice from the NE. This sandur, together with the prominent hills from the Saalian, formed the substrate for the ice from the NE. This ice modified, but did not destroy the old hills.

“…Fluvial gravel fabrics are widely documented, (e.g., Krumbein, 1939Krumbein, , 1940Krumbein, , 1942Schlee, 1957;Unrug, 1957;Johansson, 1963Johansson, , 1965Sedimentary Petrology Seminar, 1965;Sengupta, .1966; Kelling and Williams, 1967;Katzung, 1971;Rust, 1972Rust, , 1975Liboriussen, 1975; additional references are cited by Potter and Pettijohn, 1963, p. 35). The most obvious feature of fluvial fabrics is a strong upstream imbrication of the AB plane, reflecting the unidirectional flow.…”
