Palynological methods are extensively used in Quaternary biostratigraphical investigations. The application of palynology in Pleistocene stratigraphy, including glacial deposits, is connected with some special problems. Intensive geological processes affecting the formation of autochthonous pollen spectra and the break up, rebedding and transport of pollen-bearing sediments complicates the interpretation of the stratigraphy considerably. Therefore attention has been focused on methodical problems.

Proper rock fragmentation is the key first element of the ore winning process. It is a two step activity in the sense that the holes for distributing the explosives within the rock mass must first be drilled (Step 1) as specified by the fragmentation plan. This is then followed by the controlled rubblization (Step 2) of the interlytng rock.

This thesis represents one part of the European project “Geological characterisation of shallow marine sands for reservoir modelling and high resolution stratigraphic analysis”, which was established to study shallow marine sands with respect to reservoir properties. The research was focused on the micropalaeontological characterisation of mudstone and source rock successions and the nature, origin and reservoir characteristics of the Bentheim Sandstone in the Lower Saxony Basin.
