The proposed interpretation of Pleistocene stratigraphy, which results from recent 6-inch geological surveys in the Chelmsford and Norwich areas is at variance with generally accepted correlations relating to the drift deposits of East Anglia. The evidence for the existence of the Gipping Till and its associated glaciation is critically examined. It is concluded that widespread chalky boulder clay was formed during only one glacial episode. It is also suggested that the Hoxnian and Ipswichian deposits in East Anglia are closer in time than has been thought hitherto, and that the main glaciation of East Anglia is the penultimate (Wolstonian).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
