Stress analysis on conjugate normal faults in unconsolidated Weichselian glacial sediments from Brorfelde, Denmark

The Brorfelde hills in northwestern Sjælland are built up of thick fluvioglacial deposits covered by basal till. A stress analysis of syn- and postdepositional normal faults in these sediments indicates that the faults are a result of buried dead ice. The hills can be classified as autochthonous ice-sustained kame or crevasse deposits which have been transgressed by a later ice advance
