Stratigraphy and Correlation of the Belovezhian Stage of the Pleistocene of Belarus Based on Palynology
Abstract
Abstract According to the stratigraphic scheme of the Quaternary deposits of Belarus, the Pleistocene Belovezhian Stage includes three substages (Borkovian, Nizhninian and Mogilevian). Palynological research and palynology-based interregional correlation of the studied deposits suggest that these substages can be considered as stages, which supports proposals put forward previously by Belarusian geologists and paleontologists. The materials presented also indicate that the Korchevian interglacial, identified as a part of the Narevian glacial, is coeval with the Mogilevian Substage (Stage).
