The Pleistocene stratigraphy of the south-eastern sector of
the Scandinavian glaciation (Belarus and Lithuania) : a review
Abstract. The paper summarises geological and
palaeobotanical investigation data on Pleistocene of recent decades in
Lithuania and Belarus. The main problems in Pleistocene stratigraphy and
correlation of sections are discussed. As a result, the chronostratigraphical
correlation chart of Pleistocene deposits is presented and some changes in
local stratigraphic schemes are proposed. The main stratigraphical units are
comparable and correlate well; however some unsolved stratigraphical problems
still exist. The lack of the absolute chronology dates of the Pleistocene
deposits of Belarus and the controversial dating results of some sections in
Lithuania is still the main problem.
