Zur Altersstellung der Torfe und Gyttjen von Herxheim, Jockgrim und Rheinzabern in der Vorderpfalz
In order to clarify the Pleistocene successions present in the clay-pits at Herxheim, Jockgrim and Rheinzabern in Vorderpfalz, a pollen analysis has been made of peat and silt deposits. The following results have been obtained: 1) The Herxheim peat-layers can be assigned to a subarctic phase, which...
