Abstract
    The authors study the sedimentological and paleobotanical characteristics of a continuous succession of Eemian and Weichselian deposits older than 50.000 y, B.F. It forms the major part of the Quaternary cover in a tributary valley of the Upper-Pleistocene Flemish-Valley-Belgian Coastal Plain complex at Beernem. They recognize an alluvial Eemian deposit covering the E4a, E4b, E5 and E6 pollenzones; a quick paleoclimatic transition and Weichselian deposits of a fluvio-periglacial and niveo-colluvial nature with numerous peat layers, one of which is linked with a buried paleopodzol (paleosol of Beernem) and correlatedwith the Amersfoort interstadial. The pre-Amersfoort peats are of EW I type, the post-Amersfoort ones of a PW type. The numerous syngenetic cryoturbation levels, suggest that all over the pre-Moershoofd Weichselian mean annual temperatures fell below -5°C, at least during successive rather long periods. They contrast the paleobotanical, chronological and sedimentological interpretations.
