S. M. 2005 (May):Detection of Lateglacial distal tephra layers in the Netherlands. Boreas, Vol. 34, pp. 123–135. Oslo. ISSN 0300-9483.Three distal tephra layers or cryptotephras have been detected within a sedimentary sequence from the Nether-lands that spans the last glacial–interglacial transition. Geochemical analyses identify one as the Vedde Ash,which represents the southernmost discovery of this mid-Younger Dryas tephra so far. This tephra was found asa distinct horizon in three different cores sampled within the basin. The remaining two tephras have not beengeochemically ‘fingerprinted’, partly due to low concentrations and uneven distributions of shards within thesequences sampled. Nevertheless, there is the potential for tracing these tephra layers throughout the Nether-lands and into other parts of continental Europe. Accordingly, the possibilities for precise correlation of Dutchpalaeoenvironmental records with other continental, marine and ice-core records from the North Atlantic regionare highlighted.Siwan M.
