   Abstract : A multiproxy study on sedimentary rocks spanning the Ordovician-Silurian boundary has been performed on material from the Röstånga-1 core, with the aims to improve the biostratigraphical and sedimentological framework and to interpret the depositional environment during this interval in Earth’s history. The sedimentary succession in the Röstånga-1 core is developed in the Scanian Lithofacies Belt and is considered an excellent upper Middle Ordovician-Lower Silurian reference section for southernmost Sweden.

3. 2. Diagenetic and petrophysical properties of deeply versus moderately buried Cambrian sandstones of the Caledonian foreland, southern Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Christine Karlsson; [2001]
   Keywords : diagenesis; petrography; sandstone; burial; Lower Cambrian; Caledonian foreland; Västergötland; Skåne; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Lower Cambrian strata of the Caledonian foreland of southern Sweden consist mainly of quartzitic sandstones with thicknesses of approximately 35 meters in Västergötland and 120 meters in Skåne. In the distal, moderately buried western members of the File Haidar Formation of Västergötand porosity and permeability was higher than in the proximal deeply buried units of the Hardeberga Formation of Skåne.
