Long Pleistocene Pollen Records from the Praclaux Crater, South-Central France
View through CrossRef
AbstractA 46-m core of lake sediments, obtained from the center of the explosion crater of Praclaux (Haute-Loire, Velay, France), was studied on the basis of 368 pollen spectra. Five temperate forest episodes alternating with phases indicative of glacial climates are recorded. Two of these episodes show vegetation successions representative of full interglaciations; the oldest is contemporaneous with the Holsteinian interglaciation. A thick trachytic tephra permits correlation to be established with the pollen sequence from Lac du Bouchet. This comparison indicates the presence of two complete interglaciations between the Holsteinian and the Eemian that are the equivalents of marine isotope stages 7 and 9. The Holsteinian therefore corresponds to isotope stage 11.
