Abstract

The erratics, weathering and surface relief of the Taele gravel south of Thriplow point to its being immediately post-Gipping (Saale) in age. On the other hand, its molluscan fauna is of a type usually considered to be characteristic of cold conditions associated with the last glaciation. It is concluded that this fauna is characteristic of a certain type of local conditions and not of a definite period in the Pleistocene.
