Abstract
SUMMARY: A Late Devensian deposit containing abundant moss remains is described. One species assumes significance because of its first recorded occurrence in British late-glacial sediments. A radiocarbon date of c . 16,000 BP obtained from an accumulation of the earliest deposited moss fragments assists in the interpretation of the Devensian deglaciation sequence in the region. This is considered to have been accomplished between about 18,000 and 16,000 BP probably initially by the separation and stagnation of ice lobes in valleys.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
