A DISCUSSION of GULLENTOPS, F. & DE MOOR, G. (2001): Quaternary lithostratigraphic units (Belgium). 2.2 Remaining marine-estuarine deposits. Geologica Belgica, 2001,4/1-2: 153-164

摘要

The present comments refer to the subdivivsion 2.2. "Remaining marine-estuarine deposits" (p. 156-157) of the Quaternary lithostratigraphic units presented by Gullentops & De Moor in the Lithostratigraphic scale of Belgium {Geologica Belgica, 4, 1-2, 2001, 153-164). As stated in the preface of the Special Edition, the members of the Quaternary commission did not reach an agreement. Consequently, the presented lithostratigraphy only reflects the vision of the authors without considering the numerous comments made at the meetings of the Subcommission. This would be less harmful if the authors had included literature later than 1979. Instead, all recent references were left out of the literature review, resulting in a lithological definition of the lithostratigraphic units which does not match reality.
