ABSTRACT
Till investigations have been carried out on north-east (NE) Rugen in order to record all the till beds which, together with other sediments, form the Pleistocene sediments which overlie the Cretaceous Chalk and underlie the modern land surface. A summary of the result is presented in form of a gravel composition standard profile for NE Rugen. The m3m Till is particularly important because of its south-western Baltic area distribution and chronostratigraphical position. Considerable clast analysis has established the characteristic and representative lithological spectrum for the NE Rugen area. The various pebble assemblages of the NE Rugen tills reflect the differing directions of derivation of the glacial debris. This clearly results from the regional bedrock distribution pattern of the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks on the floor of the Baltic Sea and in Sweden, the two areas from which most glacial debris is derived.
