Abstract
Following the decision of the International Union of Geological Sciences on the transfer of the lower boundary of the Quaternary System/Period and the Pleistocene Series/Epoch from 1.8 Ma to 2.58 Ma (to the base of the Gelazian Stage/ Age of the Pliocene), the changes have been made in Stratigraphic charts of Neogene and Quaternary Deposits of Belarus (2010). The Neogene – Quaternary boundary in the territory of Belarus is aligned with the International Chronostratigraphic Chart and is made between the Kholmech horizon (analogue of Zanclean and Piacenzian, Pliocene) and the Dvorets horizon (analogue of Gelasian) displaced from the Pliocene to the lower base of the lowermost Pleistocene. Its new position in the sections is substantiated by paleobotanical data. New geological units were introduced into regional and local stratigraphic charts of the Neogene and Quaternary.
