Depth of the base Paleocene in the duck beak

The base of the Paleocene can be mapped throughout the entire duck beak and reaches depths between 800-2 900 m. Along some salt structures no paleocene sediments can be detected. The area falls in the trend from SE to NW, with an NNW-SSE striking, presumably trouble-bound high position in the northwestern area of the duck beak. The largest depth is reached at about 2 900 m in the northwest of the duck beak, along the border with the Danish North Sea sector. The flattest spot is located directly on the edge of the salt structure Bruni.古新统（Paleocene）的底界可在整个鸭嘴构造内完成填图，埋藏深度介于800~2900米之间。沿部分盐构造，未检测到古新统沉积物。该区域整体呈东南向西北延伸的展布格局，走向为北北西-南南西（NNW-SSE）向；鸭嘴构造西北部区域推测为受构造约束的隆起部位。鸭嘴构造西北部毗邻丹麦北海区块的区域埋藏深度最大，约为2900米。最平缓的区域直接位于布吕尼（Bruni）盐构造的边缘。
