Abstract

Rich molluscan assemblages occur in different sediments deposited in South Poland during the interval 20-8 thousand years BP. Successions of assemblages connected with shady and open habitats, swamps and marches as well as water basins can be distinguished. Each described succession comprises species of snails and bivalves characterizing changes of environment controlled mainly by climatic conditions. These species can be pointed out as important indicators of particular stages of the Upper Vistulian and Lower Holocene.
