摘要
Last Interglacial deposits at Folkestone, Kent. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 106, 183-193. Pleistocene temperate-climate deposits at Folkestone Battery, Kent are described and attributed to a small stream draining from the nearby Chalk escarpment. Their contained molluscan fauna is indicative of conditions similar to those at the present in southeast England. The occurrence of a mammal fauna with Hippopotamus amphibius (Linne) and of D : L amino-acid ratios from molluscan shell with a mean of 0.124 combine to suggest an age in the Last Interglacial (Oxygen Isotope Substage 5e).
