Abstract

The geologic structure and genetic aspects of inland galcier sediments are described on examples from northern Germany. Different types of structures are demonstrated ranging from slight undulation to in­tense subglacial folding and shearing. Inland glacier sediments are called all deposits laid down and/or de­formed by inland glaciers. These sediments resting on glacially undeformed basement include lodgement till (at top) and below of it shear till, melt-out and deformation till. A fundamental tool of modern till stratigraphy is the knowledge of the geologic structure more than are petrography and geochemistry of moraines at present.
