Sediments of the Eckfeld maar (Eifel, Germany) bear a well-preserved Eocene fauna and
flora. Biostratigraphically, Eckfeld corresponds to the Middle Eocene mammal reference …

Radiometric dating of volcaniclastic material from a borehole below the Middle Eocene
Messel Formation leads to a revised numerical age of the Messel fossil deposit. Accordingly …

Widespread tephra layers result from major explosive volcanic eruptions. They form areally
extensive isochronous marker horizons, and allow a high-resolution stratigraphic correlation …

We conducted inter-laboratory AMS 14 C dating of bones of the Miesenheim IV elk
(Rhineland, Germany), buried under Laacher See tephra dated to ca. 11,060 BP (13,000 cal …

The analysis of tephra layers in maar lake sediments of the Eifel shows 14 well-visible
tephra during the last glacial cycle from the Holocene to the Eemian (0–130,000 yr b2k) …

Radiocarbon dates from the terrestrial Weichselian standard profile of Oerel are presented.
The end of the Early Weichselian (WE IV, corresponding to isotopic stage 5a) is dated by two …

Abstract The Eltville Tephra (ET) is an important stratigraphic marker bed in the Western
European loess stratigraphy at the boundary between the regional Last Glacial Maximum …

Hundreds of small lakes became filled with Eemian deposits following the retreat of Saalian
ice in northwestern Germany. Weakly expressed climate oscillations have been inferred …

The knowledge of the Eemian fauna of central Europe is based on the fossil record from a
number of sites located in the eastern part of Germany. The faunas with different deer …

During the last twelve years the ELSA Project (Eifel Laminated Sediment Archive) at Mainz
University has drilled a total of about 52 cores from 27 maar lakes and filled-in maar basins …
