Quaternary lithostratigraphic units (Belgium)

摘要: The lithostratigraphic classification of the Quaternary deposits is based on genesis sediments. distinguished environments are marine - estuarine, fluvial, eolian and slope. estuarine restricted to certain time-intervals within limited northern part Belgium. Fluvial found throughout Quaternary. On basis sedimentological lithological differentials Meuse basin Schelde a bipartite subdivision fluvial introduced. Eolian differentiated their grain size distribution, namely sand silt. sandy accumulated in Belgium, whereas loess deposited more southern country. Slope not regionally neither temporally.
