The Stevns Klint area is a significant Earth science site that includes a theme not yet present on the World Her- itage List: Global mass extinction associated with an asteroid impact. The scenic Stevns Klint site is outstanding between 500 sites around the world comprising the spectacular mass extinction event at the Cretaceous−Tertiary boundary because of the long and accessible exposures of the complete boundary section and because of its long and continued importance to the scientific studies. Since joining UNESCO, the Danish Government has been working to affirm its support for the World Heritage Convention, and we are pleased to be able to nominate this natural site for inclusion in the prominent list. Local people and authorities in the Stevns area have participated in the successful development, protection and designation of the Stevns Klint site in qualifying cooperation with the national level. We therefore fully support the nomination of Stevns Klint for World Heritage status.

Work towards this nomination has involved active local, national and international consultation, and the princi- ples and priorities for management have been established through thorough debate and investigation. A management plan approved by the local authorities outlines the future management of the nominated area. The nomination document is prepared with the assistance and advice of many people and institutions. We are delighted to commend this nomination to the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO.

Objective: To investigate geographical variation in opioid use in elderly with dementia compared to elderly without dementia. Methods: Register-based cross-sectional study in the entire elderly (≥65 years) population of Denmark in 2015.

The shark fauna of the Upper Cretaceous Hinoshima Formation (Santonian: 86.3–83.6 Ma) of the manuscriptHimenoura Group (Kamiamakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan) was investigated based on fossil shark teeth found at five localities: Himedo Park, Kugushima, Wadanohana, Higashiura, and Kotorigoe. A detailed geological survey and taxonomic analysis was undertaken, and the habitat, depositional environment, and associated mollusks of each locality were considered in the context of previous studies. Twenty-one species, 15 genera, 11 families, and 6 orders of fossil sharks are recognized from the localities. This assemblage is more diverse than has previously been reported for Japan, and Lamniformes and Hexanchiformes were abundant. Three categories of shark fauna are recognized: a coastal region (Himedo Park; probably a breeding site), the coast to the open sea (Kugushima and Wadanohana), and bottom-dwelling or near-seafloor fauna (Kugushima, Wadanohana, Higashiura, and Kotorigoe).

TAYLOR 5 Gero HILLMER 6 Abstract: The bryozoan collection of Prof. Dr Ehrhard VOIGT (1905–2004) at the Senckenberg Re- search Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany is a world-renowned collection of great scientific value. It is the world's largest collection of fossil bryozoans from the Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene and a unique archive documenting the evolution of this phylum of marine invertebrates during this time in- terval in the Boreal Chalk Sea that extended from the British Isles to the Aral Sea in Central Asia. The VOIGT Collection contains over 300,000 specimens and was relocated to the Senckenberg Institute in 2005 according to the bequest of Ehrhard VOIGT . As a result of a DFG-funded project, we present here a three-part type catalogue of the holotypes and neotypes of 256 bryozoan species in the VOIGT Collection, of which this is Part 3. In total over the three parts, 247 species are re-illustrated but the name-bearing type specimens of 20 species are missing and no material could be found for 9 species. Two species, described as ctenostome bryozoans by Ehrhard VOIGT , are questionable, while a further three 'ctenostome' species and one 'ctenostome' genus are considered as ichnotaxa.

The maps, which cover about 25 000 km² and water depths from 60 m to 2700 m, are based on multibeam echosounder data (bathymetry and backscatter), 215 video lines each 700 m long, seabed sediment samples from 40 stations (grab, boxcore and multicore) and 5500 km of sub-bottom profiler data. The sedimentary environment map has 6 classes, focussing on present depositional environments (erosion and deposition). Large parts of the Nordland VI continental shelf are dominated by erosion processes, but some deposition occurs in topographic depressions and glacial troughs like Trænadjupet and Vesterdjupet. Hemipelagic sediments are deposited in deep water areas on the continental slope and abyssal plain. The seabed sediments (genesis) map comprises a geological interpretation of the uppermost few metres of the seabed, and has 10 classes.
