Das Tertiar des Niederrheins in der Stratigraphischen Tabelle von Deutschland 2002

摘要

The Tertiary of the Lower Rhine district is divided into two areas with different successions of beds. In the northern Lower Rhine lowlands only marine sediments were deposited during the Paleogene and Neogene. In the southern Lower Rhine embayment especially in the lower part of the Neogene the marine facies interfingers with deltaic and terrestrial deposits with partial thick peat accumulations. The facies changes into purely terrestrial sedimentation in the upper part of the Neogene.
