River terraces of the Vltava and Labe (Elbe) system, Czech Republic, and their implications for the uplift history of the Bohemian Massif

摘要: The record of river terraces and related fluvial deposits from the Vltava Labe (Elbe) rivers in Czech Republic is reassessed. Field relations between sediments derived Scandinavian ice sheets, together with biostratigraphy, provide basis for correlation oxygen isotope oceans. resulting scheme allows an internally consistent these their more fragmentary counterparts downstream Germany. It also possible to use estimate Late Cenozoic uplift this region, which appears have followed a similar pattern other parts Europe, particular marked increase rates after ∼0.9 Ma. Previous schemes may, thus, overestimated ages earlier Middle Pleistocene sequence Bohemian Massif. Analysis biostratigraphy reveals many similarities interglacial faunas southern England raises questions about some previously published correlations.
