Description
Summary:Description of the profile (Kroemer 2010) and dating Lab. no Beta Analytics, USAJ -0.5 m peat decomposed 0.6m cal BP 4580-4420 [Beta 262618] 0.8m cal BP 6890-6670 [Beta 262617] 2.5m cal BP 10 220-9910 [Beta 265371] -2.5m fen peat to wood pear 2.8m cal BP 12 750-12390 [Beta 265372] -4.0m lake marl (confirmed) -5.0m lake marl (presumed on the basis of the consistency tested by piling) The deposits were generally waterlogged; the lake marl especially had a soft consistency. (2010) does not exhibit the shape normally expected of crater walls; instead it takes the form of a gravel terrace, in part more than 200m wide, built up by meltwater on the edge of the ice. [...] it is confined to the western and southern shores of the Tüttensee (Figure 1) and shows fluvial crossbedding in a gravel pit.
