A section of 6.10 m through the Deurne Sand Member (Diest Formation, Late Miocene) in Antwerpen (Antwerp) is described, which has been observed during the construction works of a new hospital building in the southern part of Deurne, and here called “Middelares Hospital Section” after that location. This temporary outcrop section can well be correlated with a similar one which was outcropping some 35 years ago, and was located at some 1.5 km to the NE. It was studied in detail by De Meuter et al. (1967), who called it the “Borgerhout-Rivierenhof VII B.R.” section. Since that section was the most relevant of the previously described sections in the Deurne Sand Member, it is here suggested to designate that section as stratotype for the member.

An overview of eleven disused Neogene regional stages from Belgium is presented. Some of the regional stages were already brought into use in the nineteenth century, but are nowadays considered ill defi ned and of no use in the light of the modern stratigraphic concepts. An overview of their defi nition and history is given, together with the argumentation for the abandonment of each unit and its present status. S e disused chronostratigraphic units belonged to the Miocene, the Pliocene and the Holocene series.

About the city Antwerp Number of inhabitants 516 000 Area in Km² 204,5 km2 Annual budget of the city 1 480 000 000 euro Annual budget for culture Total amount of 87 800 000 euro for buildings/equipment/overhead, exploitation/operation, staff. Divided into: • 35 200 000 euro: local cultural policies: libraries, cultural centra, • 16 000 000 euro: art policies: subsidies of opera, ballet, theatres, filharmonie,… • 36 600 000 euro: musea and cultural heritage The local/regional context Belgium, officially the Kingdom of Belgium is a small, densely populated country which covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres and has a population of about 11 million people. Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. It is divided into three regions and three communities, that exist next to each other. Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region. A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of government Antwerp is the most populous city in Flanders. Antwerp is on the River Scheldt, linked to the North Sea by the Westerschelde estuary. The Port of Antwerp is one of the biggest in the world, ranking second in Europe and within the top 20 globally. 1 Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries, both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the Dutch Revolt.
