Palynostratigraphy and vegetation changes
during the early Middle Pleistocene, based on
new studies of deposits from Ferdynandów
(central eastern Poland)
New palynological data from the Ferdynandów site are presented and interpreted against the background
of the earlier division of this stratotype pollen sequence by Janczyk-Kopikowa (1975), with special attention
to a comparison with the nearest profile of a complete Ferdynandovian succession in Łuków (Łuków Plain).
The proposed division of the new pollen diagram from Ferdynandów – into two warm periods of interglacial rank
separated by a succession typical of glacial periods – is based on the new division of the Ferdynandovian pollen
sequence s.l., applied for the first time by Mamakowa (1996) to the Podgórze B1 pollen profile close to Nowe
Miasto on the Pilica river. The two warm units and the cold one between them in the new pollen diagram from
the Ferdynandów site correspond to the climatostratigraphic units named Ferdynandovian 1 and 2. Together
with the cooling/glaciation (Ferdynandovian 1/2) separating them, the whole Ferdynandovian sequence s.l. can
be related to the early Middle Pleistocene Cromerian Complex (Cromerian II Westerhoven and Cromerian III
Rosmalen) and Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 13–15.
