Description
Summary:First thermoluminescence (TL) datings of glacial deposits from several well-known sites in northwest Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) indicate a possible Middle Weichselian Glaciation in this region. The TL dates obtained imply an ice sheet at about 70-40 ka B.P. here, whose presence in this part of Europe has not been previously considered. The reliability of the TL dates was cross-checked on different lithologies; the dating was performed in two independent laboratories. These dates and their interpretations, however, must still be confirmed both geologically and paleontologically on suitable sites where glacial sediments are sandwiched between Eemian deposits and interstadial deposits older than the Late Weichselian. ... : Supplement to: Marks, Leszek; Piotrowski, Jan A; Stephan, Hans-Jürgen; Fedorowicz, Staniskaw; Butrym, Jerzy (1995): Thermoluminescence indications of the Middle Weichselian (Vistulian) glaciation in northwest Germany.
