Weichselian stratigraphy of sediments from the lower Pechora River

A large section near the village of Hongurei on the Pechora River, ca. 100 km inland from the Barents Sea coast, reveals the following stratigraphic record of the last glaciation: The lowest units are lacustrine silt overlain by fluvial sand. These two units are repeated by glaciotectonic upthrusting from the NW. On top of this stacked succession is a till where fabric measurements reflect ice movement from the NE. Above the till is a partly laminated glaciolacustrine clay, probably deposited during the deglaciation of the site. We interpret the two ice flow directions to reflect a single ice advance. […]

在佩乔拉河畔的洪古雷伊村附近的一大片区域，位于巴伦支海海岸约100公里的内陆，揭示了以下冰川作用时期的地层记录：最底层为湖泊淤泥，其上覆盖着河流沙子。这两个地层单元通过来自西北方向的冰川构造抬升而重复出现。在这层堆叠的地层之上，是一层冰积物，其构造测量反映了从东北方向来的冰流运动。在冰积物之上，是一层部分层理化的冰川湖沉积黏土，这可能是该地点冰川退却期间沉积的。我们解读这两个冰流方向反映了一次单一的冰川推进。
