Pre-Quaternary
The laboratory has a high quality standard and has capacity for preparation of large volumes of samples. Our safety standards are of a particularly high level. We offer preparation and analysis for research projects as well as industry based projects. Contact us to learn more about our expertise.
We cover the following microfossil groups:
- Dinoflagellate cysts
- Spores and pollen
- Foraminifera
- Diatoms
- Nannoplankton
- Conodonts
Biostratigrafic analyses
We also perform biostratigraphical analyses, where we combine biostratigraphic data with data from other geological and geophysical studies.

Quaternary and Recent
In the laboratory we also undertake preparation of pollen, diatoms, dinoflagellate cysts and foraminifera from Recent and Quaternay sediments from the North Atlantic region (Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands). Our clients are archaeological museums and international researchers.
Our analytical methods comprise:
- Pollen, for relative and qualitative analysis
- Pollen trapping (monitoring) preparation
- Diatoms (lake and marine sediments)
Geobotanical laboratory
GEUS provides macrofossil analyses of Quaternary sediments – for instance i connection with geoarchaeological, geotechnical and environmental history studies.
