FAUNA Z OSADÓW PLEJSTOCEŃSKICH W STANOWISKACH SUCHA WIEŚ (POJEZIERZE EŁCKIE) I CZARNUCHA (RÓWNINA AUGUSTOWSKA), PÓŁNOCNO-WSCHODNIA POLSKA

Abstract

PLEISTOCENE FAUNA IN THE SUCHA WIEŚ (EŁK LAKELAND) AND CZARNUCHA (AUGUSTÓW PLAIN) SECTIONS, NORTHEASTERN POLANDAbstract. 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 Lithoglyphus jahni (gastropod) and Scottia browniana (ostracod) indicates that the deposits cannot be younger than the Mazovian Interglacial.
