| Abstract: | The Quaternary deposits of south Cornwall are described with an emphasis placed on the loess component. A formal lithostratigraphic name – the Lizard Loess – is proposed for the loess formation with a holostratotype designated from the Lizard Peninsula. Two environments of loess deposition are distinguished on the basis of geomorphic position and degree of solifluction activity. |
