Abstract

It is shown that Saalian loess deposits which accumulated in a cut-off meander of the Lesse River at Wanlin, is partly characterized by a mineralogical index similar to that of Weichselian loesses. This is in agreement with a similar observation for loesses of northern France published recently by Balescu & Haesaerts (1984).
