| Abstract | Already in 1899 Davis mentioned the possibility that the Ardennian ‘peneplain ’ could be of a younger age than the base surface of the Jurassic cover, to which it connects to the south of the massif. He also recognized that the Rhine and Mosel troughs testified to a multistage uplift and denudation history of the Rhenish shield (1896). Ten years earlier, Gosselet (1888) had given a fairly modern overview of the nature and age of the residual deposits associated with the Ardennian surface and had discussed the tectonic deformations implied by their distribution. So, the main ideas involved in deciphering long-term landform development in the Ardenne-Eifel date well back to the 19th century. First detailed geomorphological studies devoted to this topic appeared in the beginning of the 20th century for the |
