| Popis: | SummaryThe lithostratigraphical division of the Wolstonian Stage of the British Pleistocene is reviewed in the light of borehole records along the line of the M 69 motorway. The Wolston Clay is divided into 5 members. The evidence from the M 69 shows that 2 periods of glacier advance were separated by a major period of recession of the order of 104 years, in which most of the sediments of Glacial Lake Harrison were deposited. It is argued that this recession was interstadial rather than interglacial. |
