Although the coasts of Israel and Lebanon are adjacent, correlations between the stratigraphy of the marine Pleistocene are difficult, due to the difference in the structural and morphological nature of the two coasts.

The stratigraphy of the marine Pleistocene of Israel was therefore based mainly on the occurence of Marginopora Sp. of Tyrrhenian age and on Hyalinea baltica of Calabrian age. The assumption that the warm water foraminiferae Marginopora Sp. is attributed to the Tyrrhenian stage of the Pleistocene has been strengthened by the recent finding of Marginopora Sp. directly over Strombus Cf. bubonius layer at Rosh Hanikra. The finding of Marginopora in Lebanon and Cyprus should enable a better stratigraphie correlation of the Pleistocene between these countries.

Abstract

Although the coasts of Israel and Lebanon are adjacent, correlations between the stratigraphy of the marine Pleistocene are

difficult, due to the difference in the structural and morphological nature of the two coasts. Except for the Lebanon-Israel border

area at Rosh Hanikra (Ras-e-Nakura), which is in effect a continuation of the Lebanese coastal structure, Strombus bubonius so

Pleistocene of Israel was therefore based mainly on the occurence of Marginopora Sp. of Tyrrhenian age and on Hyalinea baltica

of Calabrian age. The assumption that the warm water foraminiferae Marginopora Sp. is attributed to the Tyrrhenian stage of the

Pleistocene has been strengthened by the recent finding of Marginopora Sp. directly over Strombus Cf. bubonius layer at Rosh

Hanikra. The finding of Marginopora in Lebanon and Cyprus should enable a better stratigraphie correlation of the Pleistocene
