Abstract
Summary: Pollen analyses have been made from sediments associated with vertebrate remains, including Arvicola cantiana, collected early in the 19th century from Ostend, Norfolk. They indicate that the fauna is of Cromerian zone IV date. Comparison with other pollen-dated Cromerian faunas implies that the early water vole Mimomys savini was replaced by the more advanced A. cantianaduring the second half of the Cromerian temperate stage. This is important in setting possible age limits to the faunas of such sites as Westbury, Mauer and Vérteszöllös.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
