Abstract

At a coastal cliff near Sonderby, SW Funen, the internal structure of a Weichselian kame terrace is well exposed. It exhibits, in a deformed state, a sequence of lodgement till overlain by stratified glaciofluvial beds plus a capping of flow till. An elongated ridge, interpreted as an intra-glacial crevasse-infilling, is perched right on top of the kame terrace, whereas laterally the terrace body passes into a small sandur. The effect of static load diapirism is demonstrated and the presence of slump structures in a seemingly anomalous spatial attitude is explained. -from Authors
