“…Evidence for an extensive karstic aquifer in the Megalopolis Basin during the Makrision Stage was first pointed out by Hiltermann and Lüttig (1969), who proposed that the basal lake formed at the end of the Pliocene, was established over a carbonate-rich karstic groundwater pool, as it is demonstrated by the fauna and flora.…”

“…Here only the major formations are briefly described. The Makrision Formation (Upper Pliocene) consists of marls containing plant debris and thin, non-exploitable lignite layers (~10 cm thickness) deposited in a deep, freshwater lake, rich in carbonates, under warm climatic conditions (Hiltermann and Lüttig, 1969). The Apiditsa Stage may correspond to the Menapian glacial period of the North West European Stages (NWES) and the respective formation consists of terrestrial coarse-grained sediments.…”

“…P. zenkeri is well known from older Quaternary deposits in continental Europe (e.g. the Early Pleistocene Megaló polis Basin, southern Greece; Hiltermann and Lü ttig, 1969), but is currently known only from deposits of MIS 7 age and younger in Britain, including the Lower Channel at Marsworth (Murton et al, 2001) and Upper Strensham in Worcestershire (de Rouffignac et al, 1995).…”

A B S T R A C TTo elucidate the Middle and Late Pleistocene environmental history of south-central England, we report the stratigraphy, sedimentology, palaeoecology and geochronology of some deposits near the foot of the Chiltern Hills scarp at Marsworth, Buckinghamshire. The Marsworth site is important because its sedimentary sequences contain a rich record of warm stages and cold stages, and it lies close to the Anglian glacial limit. Critical to its history are the origin and age of a brown pebbly silty clay (diamicton) previously interpreted as weathered till.The deposits described infill a river channel incised into chalk bedrock. They comprise clayey, silty and gravelly sediments, many containing locally derived chalk and some with molluscan, ostracod and vertebrate remains. Most of the deposits are readily attributed to periglacial and fluvial processes, and some are dated by optically stimulated luminescence to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6. Although our sedimentological data do not discriminate between a glacial or periglacial interpretation of the diamicton, amino-acid dating of three molluscan taxa from beneath it indicates that it is younger than MIS 9 and older than MIS 5e. This makes a glacial interpretation unlikely, and we interpret the diamicton as a periglacial slope deposit.The Pleistocene history reconstructed for Marsworth identifies four key elements: (1) Anglian glaciation during MIS 12 closely approached Marsworth, introducing far-travelled pebbles such as Rhaxella chert and possibly some fine sand minerals into the area. (2) Interglacial environments inferred from fluvial sediments during MIS 7 varied from fully interglacial conditions during sub-stages 7e and 7c, cool temperate conditions during sub-stage 7b or 7a, temperate conditions similar to those today in central England towards the end of the interglacial, and cool temperate conditions during sub-stage 7a. (3) Periglacial activity during MIS 6 involved thermal contraction cracking, permafrost development, fracturing of chalk bedrock, fluvial activity, slopewash, mass movement and deposition of loess and coversand. (4) Fully interglacial conditions during sub-stage 5e led to renewed fluvial activity, soil formation and acidic weathering.

The aim of the present study is to reconstruct the depositional palaeoenvironment of the Almyros lignite seam cored at site #53, in Almyros Basin, Central Greece. Based on palynological and coal-petrographic data we obtained information concerning the coal-depositional environment, as well as the palaeoclimatic conditions in the surrounding area. At the above site, a peatland was developed in Upper Miocene - Lower Pliocene under limnotelmatic conditions. The climate was relatively wet and warm. Angiosperm herbaceous vegetation dominated in the fen, while Gymnosperms were sparse. The high content of detrohuminite suggests that peat was formed under reducing conditions, which favoured bacterial activity and humification of the organic matter.
