Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ii A bstract Middle and Upper Pleistocene sea level and climatic successions for the shores of the English Channel are proposed. The sequence is based on the ezamination of an area of fluvial deposition in south Hampshire and an area of marine, colluvial and aeolian deposition in the Channel Islands. Five main conclusions are proposed: I, the terrace gravels of south Hampshire are entirely of fluvial origin and were deposited by the Pleisto­ cene River Solent. These terraces are of end interglacial age and were formed by the large discharges associated with cooling climates, but before glacio-eustatic effects caused sea level to fall greatly from the inter- glacial level; II, the Hoxnian inter glacial sea level was around 100 ft. (50 m.) O.D. not at the much lower levels previously suggested on the basis of evidence from the coasts of the Western Channel; III, an episode of high sea level at around 60 ft. (18 m.) O.D. is dated to a period within the Wolstonian glaciation. It is suggested that this episode may be the "Ilfordian" interglacial tentatively identified in the valley of the lower Thames; IT, the low level rock platforms of the Channel coasts are the result of erosion at several stages of the Middle and Upper Pleistocene; V, the presence of glacial ice in the English Channel at any stage of the Pleistocene is discounted. Correlations and parallels with the Pleistocene sequences of other areas of Britain are suggested. i l l comars Page A bstract 11 Contents i i i - v i Introduction 1 a) South Hampshire I b) Channel Islands 5 PART I 10 Chapter I South Hampshire - an introduction 10 a) Solid geology 10 b) Relief and drainage pattern development 12 Chapter H The Gravel 22 a) Introduction 22 h) Gravel thickness 22 c) Gravel composition and particle shape 24 d) Boulders in the gravel 28 e) Sediment blocks in the gravel 50 f) Current bedding 32 g) Channels in the gœvel 35 Chapter H I The B rickearth 35 a) Introduction 35 b) Thickness 35 c) Structures 36 d) Grains ize 36 e) O rigin 59 Cliapter IT The environmental significance of the gravels and brickearth 42 a) The depositional environment - fluvial or marine 42 t ) The climatic environment 49 c) The fluvial depositional sequence during interglacials 57 Chapter T The stratigraphy and environmental significance of Pleistocene deposits at Stone Point 66 a) Introduction 66 b) Stratigraphy 67 c) Flora {±) Collection and preparation 70 (ii; Palaeoecology 71 iv page d) Mollusca (i) Preparation and identification 75 (ii) Palaeoecology 74 e) Discussion 75 Chapter VI The climatic and ciironological succession in South Hampshire 81 a) Surfaces over I50 f t .

Introduction The object of this study is to recognise the sequence of changing climate and sea level in the Middle and Upper Pleistocene for areas in southern Britain unaffected by glaciation. Accordingly two areas on the shores of the English Channel are examined, the New Forest, an area of mainly fluvial and estuarine deposition, and the Channel Isles, an area of mainly marine aM periglacial deposition. In these two areas many of the typical characteristics of non-glacial Pleistocene deposition can be recognised. Several sites dated archaeologically or by pollen analysis provide the basis for an absolute chronology. An attempt is also made to provide a generally applicable statement on the nature and sequence of marine and fluvial deposition at the end of interglacials and thus on the origin of Pleistocene river terraces and on the inter-relationship between climatic change and the change in sea level. a) South Hampshire In Hampshire the area chosen for study is the southern New Forest from Southampton Water in the east to the valley of the Avon in the west. The northern limit of the area studied is approximately that of the Bournemouth to Southampton railway line. In this area may be found the large tracts of gravel and brickearth with which the first part of this study is concerned. The southern boundary of the area studied lies mostly beneath the water of Christchurch and Poole Bays but the largest remnant of the south bank of the Pleistocene River Solent, the Isle of W i^t, Is also included in the area studied. The area is portrayed on sheets 179 and 180 of the Ordnance Survey’s one inch series. In view of the fragmen­ tary nature of the evidence for Lower Pleistocene deposition only deposits below 130 f t . (40 m.) were closely studied so that this account is pri­ m arily one of Middle and Upper P leistocene events. Below I 30 ft. (40 m.) extensive terrace surfaces occur and almost all the available sections are below this height while above 1)0 f t .

  • Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey by Donovan William Hawley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey Donovan William Hawley Although prehistoric megalithic monuments dominate the landscape of Guernsey, these have yielded little information concerning the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities who inhabited the island in a broader landscape and maritime context. For this thesis it was therefore considered timely to explore the alternative material culture resource of worked flint and stone archived in the Guernsey museum. Largely ignored in previous archaeological narratives on the island or considered as unreliable data, the argument made in this thesis is for lithics being an ideal resource that, when correctly interrogated, can inform us of past people’s actions in the landscape. In order to maximise the amount of obtainable data, the lithics were subjected to a wide ranging multi-method approach encompassing all stages of the châine opératoire from material acquisition to discard, along with a consideration of the landscape context from which the material was recovered. The methodology also incorporated the extensive corpus of lithic knowledge that has been built up on the adjacent French mainland, a resource largely passed over in previous Channel Island research. By employing this approach, previously unknown patterns of human occupation and activity on the island, and the extent and temporality of maritime connectivity between Guernsey and mainland areas has been revealed.

  • Trans-Lithospheric Diapirism Explains the Presence of Ultra-High Pressure
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00122-w OPEN Trans-lithospheric diapirism explains the presence of ultra-high pressure rocks in the European Variscides ✉ Petra Maierová1 , Karel Schulmann1,2, Pavla Štípská1,2, Taras Gerya 3 & Ondrej Lexa 4 The classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. 1234567890():,; We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally under- neath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans- lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock asso- ciations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process. 1 Center for Lithospheric Research, Czech Geological Survey, Prague 1, Czech Republic. 2 EOST, Institute de Physique de Globe, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. 3 Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth Science, ETH-Zurich,

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

    Maritime Natural Area: MIO. Whitstable to Geological Significance: Notable North Foreland (provisional) General geologicaVgeomorpholugicaIcharactcr: The Whitstable to North Foreland Maritime Natural Area has a varied coastline with relatively low-lying coast in thc cast rising to boulder clay and chalk cliffs towards the Isle of Thanet. Geological Htrtory: This coastline is characterised by the Cretaceous chalk of the Isle oTThanet bounded to the west by clays, silts and sands of the Lower ‘I’ertiary. Upper Cretaceous Santonian chalk (87-83 Ma) is exposed dipping gently to the west from Margatc to the eastern side of Herne Bay. Unconformably overlying the chalk is a sequence of Lower Tertiary scdiments which are exposed in I Ierne Bay; the Palaeocenc Thanet, Woolwicli and Oldhaven Formations overlain by the Eocene London Clay Formation. The Chalk was deposited by a shallow sea which covered much of Northwestern Europe towards the end of the Cretaceous. Sea lcvel fall was followed by the unconformabie deposition of Tertiary Palaeocene and Ikcene sedirnents. Dominantly marine in origin, these scdiments were deposited by a rising, but fluctuating sea, which covered much of Southeast England. Marine conditions were well established by the Eocene leading to the deposition ofthe i,ondon Clay Formation. Thc fossil fauna and flora from the Tertiary rocks indicates a gradually warming climate with sub-tropical conditions established by the Eocene. Subsequent uplilt (associated with the Alpine Orogeny) and resultant erosion removed much of the remaining Tertiary sediments, the next deposition occurring during the Pleistocene. Though not covercd by ice, the area was affectcd by periglacial erosion in a tundra-like environment during the last glaciation (Devensian).
