Abstract
New evidence in the area around Brandon, Warwickshire, has amplified our knowledge of the sequence of events in the Saalian, Eemian and Weichselian. Organically rich deposits have been found at the base of Avon No. 2 terrace (mid-Weichselian) and in the Baginton-Lillington Gravels (early Saalian.) and their biota, described elsewhere, throws additional light on the climate of parts of Middle and Late Pleistocene time. Six separate episodes of cryoturbation are placed in the time sequence. Certain gravels which occur, in one locality only, at the base of No. 4 terrace are believed to be Eemian, separated by a major time break from the normal gravels of No. 4 which are ascribed to the early Weichselian. The vicissitudes of climate, erosion and aggradation are integrated with a time scale.
