Sideritic fossiliferous concretions from the Eocene Lillebaelt Clay Formation, collected ex situ on the beach at Trelde Næs (Jutland, Denmark) were found to yield two common pteropod species: Heliconoides lillebaeltensis spec. nov. and H. mercinensis (Watelet & Lefèvre, 1885), the latter known to date from a Late Palaeocene-Ypresian interval. A single further specimen might represent the species Limacina pygmaea (Lamarck, 1805), known only from the Lutetian. A study of the dinoflagellate assemblages in six of the concretions allowed an age assignment of Early Lutetian.
