An outline of Pleistocene chronostratigraphy in Poland

Leszek Lindner

Open publisher page 44 citations

Abstract

The Quaternary in Poland consists of the Protopleistocene (1,870 000-150000 y. BP), the Pleistocene (950 000 -10 000 y. BP), and the Holocene (last 10 000 y. BP). Within the Protopleistocene the Otwock Cooling and the Celestynow Warming are distinguished. The Pleistocene includes 9 main gIaciations (Narew, Nida, San, Mogielanka, Wilga, Liwiec, Odra, Warta, Wisla) separated by 8, interglacials (Przasnysz, Kozi-Grzbiet, Pilczyca, Ferdynandow, Barkowice-Mokre, Zbojno, Grabowka, Eemian). A climatic characteristics and ages of all these episodes are presented on the basis of paleomagnetic, thermoluminescence FCl/P, 14 C datings, which also enabled a chronostratigraphic correlation of the distinguished episodes with the equivalent units in the neighborinig countries and in deep-sea sediments.
