Abstract

The Hampshire Basin of southern England contains a number of sites, reviewed here, that contain evidence for former sea levels over a period of c. 0.5 million years and can also be used to aid in understanding of uplift over time and human activity in the landscape. They include three sites where fossiliferous sediments overlie a palaeo shore platform in either Chalk (Boxgrove and Black Rock) or softer sediments (Bembridge), which are the most robust evidence of former sea levels. The other four sites are less useful as palaeo sea level indicators, but contain rich fossil sequences (e.g., Selsey East Beach, Boxgrove, Earnley, Stone Point) or abundant archaeological artefacts (Boxgrove, Priory Bay). Black Rock is most significant for the very rare cold-stage deposits overlying the raised beach and their associated fauna.

英格兰南部第四纪海平面地貌和沉积物：地质保护评审地点描述

英格兰南部的汉普郡盆地包含许多遗址，这里回顾一下，这些遗址包含了50万年以来海平面上升的证据，也可以用来帮助理解随着时间的推移和人类活动在景观中的作用。它们包括三个地点，化石沉积物覆盖在白垩（博克斯格罗夫和黑岩）或较软沉积物（本布里奇）的古海岸平台上，这是以前海平面的最有力证据。其他四个地点作为古海平面指标的作用不大，但包含丰富的化石序列（如Selsey East Beach， Boxgrove, Earnley, Stone Point）或丰富的考古文物（Boxgrove, Priory Bay）。黑岩最重要的是非常罕见的冷期沉积物覆盖在凸起的海滩上及其相关的动物群。

期刊介绍： The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
