Geol., 24(1-2): 15-30, 20 figs. Leiden, June 1987. Interdisciplinary investigations focused on the Venlo fault block and the southern part of the Central Graben in the south-eastern part of The Netherlands yielded a better understanding of the succession and the interrelation of Neogene deposits. The fact that a detailed mollusc biozonation is available be now appeared to especially advantageous. A subdivision into eleven sedimentary petrological zones is presented, eight for the Miocene and three for the Pliocene deposits. Depositional hiatuses are encountered on top of the Oploo Sands (Late of the Venlo the Miocene) and on top Clay (Early Pliocene), on Venlo block. A.W. Burger, Rijks Geologische Dienst, P.O.

De 16 is de sedimentpetrologische zonering voor een belangrijk deel gerelateerd aan molluskenzonering. Het onderzoek werd beperkt tot een profielsectie tussen Venlo in het zuiden en Nijmegen in het noorden, gelegen op de Venlo schol, en de boring Broeksittard in het zuidelijk deel van de Centrale Slenk. In het Mioceen kunnen acht zones worden onderscheiden tegen drie in het Plioceen.

Introduction in Publications on the heavy-mineral content of Neogene deposits the south-eastern part of The first of results obtained in Netherlands are scarce. In 1933, Edelman & Doeglas gave a summary a series of but did into much detail in their systematically investigated locations, they not go discussing who in 1943 his work in the southern findings. Muller, published important on youngerdeposits part the of in connection with his of province Limburg, went into more detail, especially attempts to establish a correlation between continental and marine deposits on sedimentary petrological grounds. The Dienst in the the Rijks Geologische published some very general notes explanations to geological et der Most of these maps (Bisschops, 1973; Bisschops al., 1985; Kuyl, 1980; van Toorn, 1967). publications, however, suffered from the lack of a detailed biozonation. It was generally felt that would allow the Pliocene Miocene and heavy-mineral interpretation little more than assignment to or often for marine sediments. very not even that, especially so discussion shows how be The present a subdivision can achieved with the help of heavy-mineral correlationwith detailedbiozonation.The here restricted analysis by a investigation reported was to a section on the Venlo fault block between Venlo in the South and Nijmegen in the North, and to the The Broeksittard borehole, situated in the southern part of the Central Graben (Fig. 1). heavy- usual in the fraction mineral studies were performed in the way: counts were done non-opaqueheavy with acid and nitric (s.g. > 2.87, size 63-500 pm) after pretreatment hydrochloric 25% acid 50%, followed by separation with bromoform and mounting in Canada balsam, after which 200 grains line were identified by counting.

All boreholes deeper were additionally investigated with respect to organic remnants, which allowed a direct comparison between the results of the heavy-mineral analyses and biozonation.

  • THE FORGOTTEN BATTLE Belligerents
    OVERLOON: THE FORGOTTEN BATTLE DATE: SEPTEMBER 40 – OCOTOBER 18 1944 Belligerents United Kingdom Germany United States The Battle of Overloon was a battle fought between Allied forces and the German Army which took place in and around the village of Overloon in the south-east of the Netherlands between 30 September and 18 October 1944. The battle, which resulted in an Allied victory, ensued after the Allies launched Operation Aintree. The Allies went on to liberate the town of Venray. In September 1944, the Allies had launched Operation Market Garden, a major offensive from the Dutch-Belgian border across the south of the Netherlands through Eindhoven and Nijmegen toward the Rhine bridge at Arnhem, with the goal of crossing the Rhine and bypassing the Siegfried Line in preparation for the final drive toward Berlin. Allied airborne troops were defeated at the Rhine bridge in Arnhem and the advance stopped south of the Lower Rhine, resulting in a narrow salient that ran from the north of Belgium across the south-east of the Netherlands. German forces attacked this salient from a bridgehead west of the bend in the river Meuse (known as Maas in Dutch and German) near the city of Venlo. The bridgehead was established by retreating German forces who were reinforced with troops arriving from nearby Germany by crossing the Meuse in Venlo. The western edge of this bridgehead ran through the Peel, a region with bogs and several canals blocking an Allied advance. The Allies decided to attack the bridgehead from the north, and this meant they had to capture Overloon and Venray, which were on the road toward Venlo.

  • Jaren Geleden Zijn De Grenspalen Van De Provinciale Grens Brabant
    Jaren geleden zijn de grenspalen van de provinciale grens Brabant / Limburg, lopende vanaf de Vredepaal (Vredepeel) t/m de Eijndepaal (Helden Helenaveen) in ere hersteld. Dit project beter bekend als “De Peellimieten 1716” is in 2008 gereed gekomen, met als resultaat de reconstructie van zeven historische grenspalen en locaties. Wapen: Het Land van Cuijk Wapen: Het Land van Kessel In navolging van “De Peellimieten 1716”, is onder de hoede van het Historische Platvorm Venray (HPV) een samenwerkingsverband opgezet dat moet leiden tot het herstel van oude grenspalen en locaties tussen “Het Land van Kessel en het Land van Cuijk” (De huidige gemeentes: Venray, Boxmeer en St.Anthonis) met als doel: - Het zichtbaar maken van het historisch lijnenspel van de provinciegrens in het hedendaags ruimtelijk beeld van het landschap van De Peel en het Land van Cuijk. - Het verkrijgen van een samenhangend beeld van de historische en actuele provincie en gemeentegrens in het hedendaags ruimtelijk beeld. - Het toegankelijk en begrijpbaar maken van de grenspaallocaties voor het geïnteresseerde publiek en waar mogelijk onderdeel te laten zijn van reeds aanwezige en/of te ontwikkelen fietsroutes en wandelroutes in de directe omgeving. Er ontstaat als het ware een “cross-over” tussen cultuurhistorie en toerisme. Het samenwerkingsverband bestaat uit: de gemeentes Venray, Boxmeer en St Anthonis, diverse Heemkundekringen, Geocaching "GeoRooJ" en een aantal individuele medewerkers. De beschrijving van de grenspalen (GP) is genomen uit de inspectie van 1736 van een neutrale en onpartijdige commissie, tussen “Het land van Venray” en "Het Land van Cuijk”. De bijbehorende schouwing staat cursief beschreven. Definitieve namen van de Grenspalen zijn grotendeels ontleent aan de kaart van cartograaf Jacques Mulier van 1652, welke zich bevind in het hoofdstaatsarchief van Düsseldorf (Duitsland).
