A NEW VERSION OF THE HOLOCENE STRATIGRAPHY IN ESTONIA

Abstract

. A new modified Holocene stratigraphical chart for the continental and marine deposits is presented. The chronozone boundaries are correlated with those of the Nordic countries and instead of pollen zones pollen assemblage zones are proposed. As the latter are time-transgressive, they are not strictly bound up with the chronozones. For the marine deposits it is suggested to use local units until the acceptance of the generally approved standard subdivision.
