Abstract

A POLLEN SUCCESION FROM DOMURATY (SOKÓLSKIE HILLS) AND ITS SIGNIFICATION FOR THE PLEISTOCENE OF NE POLAND

Abstract. Pollen analysis was conducted for lacustrine-fluvial-boggy sediments from the depth of to 129,10-97,20 m from the profile at Domuraty (Sokólskie Hills - NE Poland). A new pollen sequence of the Middle Pleistocene recorded in this profile has been described. The pollen succesion is characterized by four, distinctive climatic, warm stages dominated by various forest communities. The characteristic feature is the presence of Carpinus and Azolla faliculoides in the warmest stage. Tills present in the drilled profile have been studied by petrographic analysis. Sediments contained pollen flora were underlain by tills correlated with the younger stadial of the Narewian Glaciation (till in situ) and with the older stadial of the Narevian Glaciation (till deposited in form of a glacial raft?). The tills overlain were referred to the Livecian Interglacial, the older stadial of the Odranian Glaciation, the younger stadial of the Warthanian Glaciation and the older stadial of the Vistulian Glaciation. Stratigraphical position and climatic rank of the long pollen sequence called the Domuratovian pollen succession is uncertain, nevertheless it may be connected with the Malopolanian Interglacial.
