Mineralogische Untersuchungen an einigen Moränen SO-Schonens Vorläufiger Bericht

Abstract

Tills of different ages in SE Scania (Sweden) were shown to differ in their contents of clay minerals. The association of clay minerals complementary to erratics and grain-size analyses offer clues to the history of the different tills. The differences are a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators. The locally derived tills show for instance relatively more kaolinite (and illite), whereas the Baltic Ice tills show more chlorite and a 11,5 Å mineral on which further investigations are under way.
