O-29 Cretaceous - Palaeogene Inversion Tectonics in the Danish Central Graben O. V. VEJBÆK and C. ANDERSEN Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) Thoravej 8 DK2400 Copenhagen NV Denmark 1 SUMMARY Structural analysis of the Upper Cretaceous to Palaeogene succession in the Danish Central Graben suggests continuous inversion heralded in the Late Hauterivian and continuing into Palaeogene times with phases of increased intensity: 1) latest Santonian 2) Mid Campanian 3) late Maastrichtian 4) Late Paleocene -Eocene and 5) Early Oligocene. Phases 1 through 3 are sub-Hercynian and phases 4 and 5 are Laramide according to the nomenclature used for
