Les loess et les provinces climato-sédimentaires du Pléistocène supérieur dans le Nord-Ouest de la France. Essai de corrélation entre le Nord et la Normandie.

Abstract

The weichselian loess lithostratigraphy of NW France which, by intermediary of the North Region, is continued with sandy-loamy and sandy areas of Belgium and Netherlands, shows the same horizons which permit correlations. A double climatical and sedimentary zonation (E-W and N-S) can be distinguished, of which limits have varied mostly during the pleniglacial phases.
