Pleistocene fauna in the Sucha Wieś (Ełk Lakeland) and Czarnucha (Augustów Plain) sections, northeastern Poland
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2009, Vol 435, Issue 435
Abstract
Samples collected from the Sucha Wieś borehole (Ełk Lakeland) from a depth interval of 153.60–178.00 and from the Czarnucha borehole (Augustów Plain) from a depth interval of 96.05–118.85 m were analysed for faunal content. The lacustrine-marsh deposits contain fragments of various animals including gastropods, bivalves, ostracods, fish, Coleoptera and others. Especially important for age determinations are moluscs (gastropods and bivalves) and ostracods. The presence of [i]Lithoglyphus jahni[/i] (gastropod) and [i]Scottia browniana[/i] (ostracod) indicates that the deposits cannot be younger than the Mazovian Interglacial.
