The central sector of the British-Irish Ice Sheet during the last glaciation was characterised by complex ice-flow reflecting interacting ice streams and changing dominance of different ice dispersal centres. At Tunstall, east Yorkshire, two subglacial till units have been traditionally identified as the Late Devensian Skipsea and Withernsea tills, and thought to record two separate ice advances onto the Holderness coast, from divergent ice flow directions. Our study presents the first quantitative lithological, sedimentological and structural evaluation of glacial sediments at the site. The lithological composition of both till units suggests that ice extended southwards from southern Scotland, incorporating material from north-east England and the western margin of the North Sea Basin. Notably, the bulk lithological properties of both the Skipsea and Withernsea tills are very similar. Subtle variations in colour, texture and lithology that do occur simply appear to reflect spatial and temporal variability in subglacial entrainment along the flow path of the North Sea Lobe. The relative arrangements of the units plus the fracture sets also indicates phases of intra-till thrust-stacking and unloading (F2), consolidation and shrinkage (F1, F3) suggestive of cycles of ice re-advance (thrusting) and ice-marginal retreat (unloading and shrinkage) possibly relating to active recession. The findings from this study reveal a sedimentary and structural complexity that is not recognised by the current Late Devensian till stratigraphy of east Yorkshire.

英国东约克郡Tunstall北海瓣动态德文斯晚期冰流的岩石构造事件地层

上一次冰河时期,英爱冰原的中央区域的特征是复杂的冰流,反映了相互作用的冰流和不同冰分散中心的主导地位的变化。在约克郡东部的Tunstall,传统上将两个冰下耕作单位确定为晚期德文斯基Skipsea和Withernsea耕作,并据认为可以记录来自不同冰流方向的两个单独的冰行进到Holderness海岸。我们的研究提出了对该地点冰川沉积物的首次定量岩性,沉积学和结构评价。这两个耕作单元的岩性成分表明,冰从苏格兰南部向南延伸,并结合了英格兰东北部和北海盆地西缘的物质。值得注意的是 Skipsea和Withernsea耕层的整体岩性都非常相似。确实发生的颜色,质地和岩性的细微变化似乎只是反映了沿北海裂片流动路径的亚冰川夹带的时空变化。单元的相对排列加上裂缝的集合还指示了耕作内推力堆积和卸载(F2),固结和收缩(F1,F3)的阶段,表明了冰的前行(推力)和冰缘退缩的周期。 (卸载和收缩)可能与主动衰退有关。这项研究的发现揭示了沉积和结构的复杂性,直到现在的东约克郡地层,才被目前的晚期德文斯山脉所认识。确实发生的质地和岩性似乎只是反映了沿北海瓣流径的冰下夹带的时空变化。单元的相对排列加上裂缝的集合还指示了耕作内推力堆积和卸载(F2),固结和收缩(F1,F3)的阶段,表明了冰的前行(推力)和冰缘退缩的周期。 (卸载和收缩)可能与主动衰退有关。这项研究的发现揭示了沉积和结构的复杂性,直到现在的东约克郡地层,才被目前的晚期德文斯山脉所认识。确实发生的质地和岩性似乎只是反映了沿北海瓣流径的冰下夹带的时空变化。单元的相对排列加上裂缝的集合还指示了耕作内推力堆积和卸载(F2),固结和收缩(F1,F3)的阶段,表明了冰的前行(推力)和冰缘退缩的周期。 (卸载和收缩)可能与主动衰退有关。这项研究的发现揭示了沉积和结构的复杂性,直到现在的东约克郡地层,才被目前的晚期德文斯山脉所认识。单元的相对排列加上裂缝的集合还指示了耕作内推力堆积和卸载(F2),固结和收缩(F1,F3)的阶段,表明了冰的前行(推力)和冰缘退缩的周期。 (卸载和收缩)可能与主动衰退有关。这项研究的发现揭示了沉积和结构的复杂性,直到现在的东约克郡地层,才被目前的晚期德文斯山脉所认识。单元的相对排列加上裂缝的集合还指示了耕作内推力堆积和卸载(F2),固结和收缩(F1,F3)的阶段,表明了冰的前行(推力)和冰缘退缩的周期。 (卸载和收缩)可能与主动衰退有关。这项研究的发现揭示了沉积和结构的复杂性,直到现在的东约克郡地层,才被目前的晚期德文斯山脉所认识。
