Abstract

1. IntroductionThe Gent Formation was introduced by Paepe & Vanhoorne (1976) to include “all coversands deposited during the Weichselian”. Gullentops et al. (2001) extended the chronostratigraphical position of the Gent Formation to all sandy aeolian coversand deposits dating from the Middle and Late Pleistocene (Tables 1 & 2) and subdivided the formation in three members: the Dilsen Member (pre-Weichselian), the Sint-Lenaarts Member and the Wildert Member (both Weichselian). The Dilsen Member was initially introduced by Paulissen (1973) to include the coversand deposits in which an interglacial (Eemian) soil had developed. The Sint-Lenaarts Member was originally defined by De Ploey (1961) as reworked aeolian sand, with silt and peat layers, occurring underneath the Wildert Member. The latter included all coversand deposits that covered the pre-existing landscape as a blanket. In the scheme proposed by Gullentops et al. (2001), aeolian sands that constitute a dune landform where grouped into the Hechtel Formation. This formation included Late Glacial dune sands covering the Usselo Soil (Gullentops, 1957), as well as drift sands originating from aeolian reworking of older dune sands and Podzols during the Holocene (grouped in the Kalmthout Member; De Ploey, 1961).

修正根特组:比利时第四纪风控砂岩沉积新的岩石地层学
1. Paepe和vanhohorne(1976)介绍了根特组,包括“魏希塞尔期沉积的所有覆盖层”。Gullentops et al.(2001)将根特组的年代地层位置扩展到中晚更新世以来的所有砂质风成覆盖层和沉积物(表1和表2),并将该组细分为三个段:Dilsen段(前Weichselian)、Sint-Lenaarts段和Wildert段(均为Weichselian)。Dilsen成员最初是由Paulissen(1973)提出的,包括间冰期(Eemian)土壤发育的覆盖层和沉积物。Sint-Lenaarts段最初由De Ploey(1961)定义为在Wildert段下方发生的带有淤泥和泥炭层的风沙改造层。后者包括所有覆盖原有景观的覆盖物和沉积物。在Gullentops等人(2001)提出的方案中,构成沙丘地貌的风成沙被归类为Hechtel组。这一地层包括覆盖在乌塞洛土壤上的晚冰期沙丘砂(Gullentops, 1957),以及全新世时期由旧沙丘砂和灰堆形成的风成改造形成的流沙(属于Kalmthout段;De Ploey, 1961)。表1。比利时海相、河流和风成沉积的第四纪岩石地层学,如Gullentops等人(2001)所定义。表2。荷兰最新版岩石地层对比(TNO, 2009)

期刊介绍: Geologica Belgica is a Belgian journal that welcomes papers concerning all aspects of the earth sciences, with a particular emphasis on the regional geology of Belgium, North West Europe and central Africa. Papers not dedicated to the geology of Belgium, North West Europe and central Africa are only accepted when one of the authors is linked to a Belgian University or Institution. Thematic issues are highly appreciated. In this case, guest editors take in charge the selection of the manuscripts and the subject of the papers can be enlarged. The journal is in open access. Submitted manuscripts should be concise, presenting material not previously published. The journal also encourages the publication of papers from Belgian junior authors. Short letters are accepted. Papers written in English are preferred. Each mansucript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers.
