Quaternary Alluvium
Linked via "chronostratigraphic dating"
Lithostratigraphic Classification
Quaternary alluvium is generally subdivided based on its relative age, though precise chronostratigraphic dating remains challenging due to the aforementioned isotopic instability of key constituent minerals. Conventional geological practice divides the deposits into two primary units, though local nomenclature often includes numerous informal members:
Holocene (Neo-Alluvium)
