La formation d'Herzeele : un nouveau stratotype du Pléistocène moyen marin de la mer du Nord

Abstract: Centre for Quaternary Stratigraphy (10) RESUME La Briqueterie d'Herzeele (Nord de la France) montre, dans une coupe permanente et bien visible, une série de dépôts comportant trois phases marines distinctes avec des faciès saumâtres et de wadden, en partie déjà connus en Belgique (sables à Cardium de la région d'izenberge), séparés par des dépôts continentaux avec tourbe et surmontés par une mince couverture de sables et limons éoliens avec paléosols, l'ensemble ayant une épaisseur de 6 m et reposant sur l'arg… Show more

“…Based upon our own sedimentological investigations and the available published evidence, we consider all marine Middle Pleistocene beds to have been deposited during a single interglacial stage (Burger and Meijer, 1987). We thus disagree with Sommé et al (1978Sommé et al ( , 1999, who considered three Middle Pleistocene interglacials to be represented. Miller and Mangerud (1985) provided mean D/L ratios of 0.250 ± 0.085, 0.302 ± 0.087, and 0.306 ± 0.018 from Macoma balthica, which are all in NAZ-C.…”

“…The stratigraphy has been elaborated by Sommé et al (1978Sommé et al ( , 1999. According to these authors, the sediments are of shallow-marine to wind-blown facies and are of Middle and Late Pleistocene age.…”

“…The same claim can be made for the upper marine layer III (sample HSC) from Herzeele if it is correlated with stage 9, rather than stage 7. The results from Herzeele show also that there is little difference in age between the nearshore sand from the upper (III) marine layer and the beach sand from the lower (I) marine layer; this conclusion contradicts the tentative hypothesis of Somme et al (1978).…”

“…The marine sediments are subdivided into 3 layers (I, II, and III) which are separated by a polleniferous peat layer. The pollen records correlate the middle and the upper marine layers (II and III, respectively) with the Holsteinian interglaciation (Somme et al, 1978;Lautridou et al, 1986b;Vanhoorne and Denys, 1987). HSC Calcareous and fossiliferous siltysand collected from unit 4 in the upper marine layer III.…”

“…Evidence for marine conditions in the Strait of Dover at this time may come from Herzeele, France (Somme et al 1978), although the dating of this site remains controversial. The Herzeele deposits, which have a base at 8 m NGF, show three marine or tidal deposits separated by peat.…”
