“…The first fossil Bt horizon below land surface would then have the same chronostratigraphic position as the Mautort I or Grâce I Soil of the global sequence for northern France (Antoine et al, 2021), the Harmignies and Rocourt soils in Belgium (Haesaerts et al, , 2019Meijs, 2002;Meijs et al, 2013), or the Erbach Soil in the general loess stratigraphy of Germany (Schönhals et al, 1964;Semmel, 1989;Zens et al, 2018). Pedostratigraphic correlation of the first fossil Bt with the Eemian has recently been corroborated by luminescence dating at the LPS of Garzweiler-Elsbachtal and Inden-Altdorf (Fischer et al, 2012), Kitzingen and Holzkirchhausen (Rahimzadeh et al, 2021), and Köndringen (Schwahn et al, 2023).…”
