“…They are all considered to come from the Maassluis Formation. This marine formation occurs at depth through much of the Netherlands and overlies and interdigitates with the Oosterhout Formation (Jansen et al, 2004). The Maassluis Formation is overlain by, and may interdigitate with, deposits of continental / fresh water origin, assigned to the Waalre and Peize Formations (which include those deposits previously known as the Tegelen Formation).…”

“…The above scenario means that the top of the (marine) Maassluis Formation in the eastern Netherlands is of earlier age than the top in the western part of the Netherlands. For example, Jansen et al (2004) report that in a boring at Apeldoom, ca. 10 km west of Deventer, the top of the Maassluis Formation may be separated from overlying deposits (Peize Formation) by a hiatus of at least 0.5 my.…”

“…10 km west of Deventer, the top of the Maassluis Formation may be separated from overlying deposits (Peize Formation) by a hiatus of at least 0.5 my. In the view of Jansen et al (2004) the base of the Maassluis Formation in the east of the Netherlands may date back as far as 3.4 Ma. However, Wesselingh et al (2005) consider the base of the Maassluis Formation to be not older than 2.55 Ma.…”

We describe the occurrence in the Netherlands of three teeth of Mimomys hajnackensis (Arvicolidae, Rodentia) from three separate boreholes extending into marine deposits of the Maassluis Formation. These marine Pliocene/Early Pleistocene deposits at depth are overlain by, and interdigitate eastwards with, the freshwater deposits of the Waalre and Peize Formations (formerly known in part as the Tegelen Formation).Teeth identified as M. hajnackensis have not previously been described from the Netherlands although similar material has been reported from Pliocene deposits in Germany at Frechen and Hambach close to the Dutch border. The material described here comes from boreholes at the Polder de Biesbosch near Dordrecht, Diepenveen and Deventer. To our knowledge, these finds represent the oldest described rodent fossils from the Netherlands, corresponding to an absolute age of 2.9 to 3.3 Ma on the basis of comparison with other European localities, implying that the remains are reworked from older deposits.

“…Standard palynological techniques were used to process 82 selected samples. HCl and HF digestion followed by 15 µm sieving was carried out according to Janssen and Dammers (2008). Both dinocysts and sporomorphs were counted under a light microscope at 400× magnification until a minimum of 200 specimens were found.…”

Abstract. The mid-Piacenzian Warm Period (mPWP; 3264–3025 ka) represents the most recent interval in Earth's history where atmospheric CO2 levels were similar to today. The reconstruction of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and climate modelling studies has shown that global temperatures were 2–4 ∘C warmer than present. However, detailed reconstructions of marginal seas and/or coastal zones, linking the coastal and continental climate evolution, are lacking. This is in part due to the absence of precise age models for coastal sedimentary successions, as they are generally formed by dynamic depositional systems with varying sediment and freshwater inputs. Here, we present a multi-proxy record of Pliocene climate change in the coastal southern North Sea basin (SNSB) based on the sedimentary record from borehole Hank, the Netherlands. The marginal marine setting of the Hank borehole during the late Pliocene provides an excellent opportunity to correlate marine and terrestrial signals due to continental sediment input mainly derived from the proto-Rhine–Meuse River. We improve the existing low-resolution palynology-based age model for the Hank borehole using stable oxygen and carbon isotope (δ18O and δ13C) measurements of the endobenthic foraminifera species Cassidulina laevigata, integrated with biochrono- and seismostratigraphy. Identification of hiatuses and freshwater effects in the record allows us to isolate glacial–interglacial climate signals in order to tune the endobenthic oxygen stable isotope record to a global benthic δ18O stack. This results in a tuned age framework for the SNSB for the late Pliocene (∼3190–2770 ka). Our multi-proxy climate reconstruction for the interval which covers part of the mPWP (∼3190–3000 ka) shows a strong agreement between lipid biomarker and palynology-based terrestrial temperature proxies, which suggest a stable climate, 1–2 ∘C warmer than present. In the marine realm, however, biomarker-based SSTs show a large range of variation (10 ∘C). Nevertheless, the fluctuation is comparable to other SST records from the North Atlantic and Nordic Seas, suggesting that a common factor, possibly ocean circulation, exerted a strong influence over SSTs in the North Atlantic and the North Sea at this time.

Two papers (Jansen et al., 2004a, b) in the Netherlands Journal of Geosciences deal with the age and geometry of the Maassluis Formation of the Netherlands. Age estimates are derived mainly from strontium (Sr) isotope measurements (Jansen et al., 2004a). Based on a combination of methods, but most heavily relying on Sr data and sequence boundaries ages based on the Haq curve, the authors (in Jansen et al., 2004b) discuss the possible occurrence of hiatuses in the Maassluis Formation covering intervals of 0.04 to 0.18 Ma.
