Abstract
Several new varve measurements have been made at Skövde and Tibro in the middle Swedish end moraine belt to the east of Mount Billingen, Västergötland. Some varve sequences are very long, containing 400–700 varves, but correlations are still difficult to make. This is probably due to stagnation and advances of the inland ice margin, indicated by disturbed varves and by sand or till on the clay. SE of Skövde a series of more than 560 varves is covered by a glaciofluvial delta. This delta must have been formed not far from the ice margin. After a slow ice recession at Tibro ‐ 17 km in 400–600 years ‐ advances are indicated by the stratigraphy in the northern parts of the area.Keywords
