Biostratigraphic Subdivision of Pleistocene deposits in the Seilovichi-49 sequence (Belarus).

Summary: The results of palaeobotanical investigations (pollen and diatom analyses) of ancient lacustrine deposits removed from borehole 49 near the village of Seilovichi (Nesvizh district, Minsk region, Belarus) at a depth of 71.8–85 m show that they were laid down at the end of the Berezina (Elster 2) Glaciation, throughout the Alexandrian (Holsteinian) Interglacial and into the Early Dnieper (Early Saale s.str.) periods. The last includes two stadials and two interstadials. [Acta Palaeobot. - Supplementum No. 2]
