The Laacher See Tephra discovered in southernmost Sweden

Abstract: We present the first geochemically confirmed finding of the Laacher See Tephra (LST) on the Swedish mainland, now the northernmost extension of the LST. Sediments were sampled at the Körslättamossen fen, southernmost Sweden, and a high‐concentration cryptotephra occurrence (>65 000 shards cm−3) of the LST was found in a sequence of calcareous gyttja. Tephra identification was confirmed by geochemical analysis using field‐emission electron probe microanalysis and through comparison of the results with published… Show more

“…In combination with finds of LST at Lake Hämelsee (Jones et al 2018) as well as Körslättamossen fen (Larsson and Wastegård 2018) the results of the present study demonstrate that the dispersal envelope of the Laacher See Eruption must be shifted further to the North-West.…”
