 {{:aquifers01.jpg?nolink |}}Miocene fluvio-deltaic sands in Jylland, Denmark (see map left, Rasmussen, 1961 & Weinberg-Rasmussen, 1966) are important drinking water reservoirs (aquifers). The water from the subsurface is oxidized to remove manganese and iron and filtered.

-{{:aquifers04.jpg?nolink |}}Ideally, a good reservoir should be coarse grained with high permeability, thick (ca. 30-40 m) and laterally continuous. Fluvial sands and gravels and delta sands are equally good reservoirs. Originally, correlation of these fluvial and shallow marine sand layers relied on log stratigraphy, e.g. heavy mineral gamma log ‘spikes’ but this proved complicated (see fig left).

-{{:aquifers03.jpg?nolink |}}Between 1999 and 2015, an extensive palynological study was carried out on many outcrop sections and boreholes in Jylland (see map). Based on the resulting huge database, a new, detailed dinocyst zonation for the Neogene of onshore Denmark was constructed (Dybkjær & Piasecki 2010). See figs for the dinocyst zonation and representative Miocene palynomorphs.

-Application of the new dinocyst zonation to the boreholes in combination with sequence stratigraphy revealed that earlier well-to-well correlation had to be altered significantly (see fig) and a new, detailed geological model and new lithostratigraphy for the Lower to Middle Miocene succession in Jylland were developed (see fig, Rasmussen et al. 2010).
