A Middle Weichselian deposit at Halling, Kent

Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 1971
Abstract A periglacial deposit of loessic character at Halling, Kent, is described, and an analysis made of its molluscan fauna. The deposit is stratigraphically earlier than zone I of the Late Weichselian. The fauna suggests that an interstadial of the Middle Weichselian may be represented.

Weichselian glaciation of the Taymyr Peninsula, Siberia

2004
During recent years there has been a re-assessment of the glacial history of the Russian Arctic, from the Kola Peninsula in the west to the Lena Delta and beyond in the east. In this context, work has been carried out on the northwestern and central parts of the Taymyr Peninsula.

Mid-Weichselian fossil-bearing deposits at Syston, Leicestershire

Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 1972
Abstract Gravel workings in the Soar Valley four miles north of Leicester have disclosed a number of organic lenses in the Syston terrace deposits. Material from one of the lenses has provided a 14 C date of 37,420 (+1670; −1390) years B.P., and is taken to indicate initiation of the last major aggradation along the Soar Valley in the mid ...

The Weichselian glaciation in Svalbard before 15,000 B.P.*

Boreas, 1981
Th/U dating and radiocarbon dating of ‘old’ shells are discussed, and amino acid ratios from shells are used as a method of relative‐age dating. The Svalbard area has been completely covered by an extensive ice sheet at leats once. New data from Sjuøyane indicate that such glaciation took place in the Early Weichselian.

Eemian and Weichselian correlation problems in Finland

Boreas, 1984
The Quaternary stratigraphy in Finland is discussed on the basis of an example from the Oulainen area of Ostrobothnia. Organogenic deposits found beneath till at this site are correlated with the Eemian Interglacial on biostratigraphical evidence. This is confirmed by TL dates of 97,000 ± 18,000 B.P.

Pre-Late Weichselian submerged rock platforms off Stonehaven

Scottish Journal of Geology, 1985
The existence of rock platforms around Scotland which pre-date the Late Weichselian (equivalent to the Late Devensian) glaciation is becoming increasingly apparent ([Sissons 1981][1]; [Browne and McMillan 1984][2]). This note describes the occurrence of three such platforms in the offshore area around Stonehaven, on the east coast of Scotland.

Middle Weichselian marine sediments from eastern Kattegat, Scandinavia

Boreas, 1993
Foraminifera, pollen, lithology and radiocarbon dates from a core in the southern Kattegat provide a rare opportunity to obtain data relating to environmental conditions during the Middle Weichselian in the offshore Kattegat. This core is also correlated with an adjacent second core.

Thermoluminescence dates of Weichselian sediments in western Norway

Boreas, 1989
Thermoluminescence dating has been carried out on feldspar sand grains from the distal sandur of the Godøya Formation and correlated sediments at Sunnmøre, western Norway. The accumulated dose was determined by the regeneration method. The Godøya Formation, which was earlier assumed to be of Middle Weichselian age, was dated to 105–130 ka and is now ...

Late Weichselian Glaciation of the Russian High Arctic

Quaternary Research, 1999
A numerical ice-sheet model was used to reconstruct the Late Weichselian glaciation of the Eurasian High Arctic, between Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya. An ice sheet was developed over the entire Eurasian High Arctic so that ice flow from the central Barents and Kara seas toward the northern Russian Arctic could be accounted for.

Late Weichselian biostratigraphy at Mickelsmossen, Skåne, southern Sweden

Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm Förhandlingar, 1989
Abstract The paper presents a reconstruction of Late Weichselian palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate based on pollen-, insect- and lithostratigraphic studies at Mickelsmossen, Munkarp, Skane. The site has been known since worked reindeer antlers and flint tools of Palacolithic culture were found.
