Abstract
THIS paper reports new investigations carried out on the Teindland soil profile first described by E. A. FitzPatrick1. The section (grid ref. NJ 3297 8570) lies at an altitude of about 101 m OD in a disused quarry within Teindland Forest, 5 km south-west of Fochabers in Grampian Region, Scotland. The present study presents evidence which suggests that a fossil microflora contained within the soil can be assigned to two distinct phases of geological time, the Middle Devensian interstadial and the Ipswichian stage. This is augmented by stratigraphic analyses which suggest that the site is of wider significance for the Quaternary chronology of the area than has been appreciated.
