Lithology and palynology of Weichselian alluvial fan deposits near Eerbeek, The Netherlands

In a sandpit in an alluvial fan in the central Netherlands, four interstadials could be recognized. The upper two are 14 C‐dated and assigned to Hengelo and Moershoofd, while the lower two belong to either Odderade or Brorup. Lithological evidence suggested the existence of two zones indicative of p...

Description
Summary:In a sandpit in an alluvial fan in the central Netherlands, four interstadials could be recognized. The upper two are 14 C‐dated and assigned to Hengelo and Moershoofd, while the lower two belong to either Odderade or Brorup. Lithological evidence suggested the existence of two zones indicative of permafrost separated by a zone in which running water was more important. The lower permafrost zone was found to be situated between the Moershoofd and Odderade interstadials, the younger zone to belong to the Upper Pleniglacial.
