    Malakofauna osadów jeziornych torfowiska Gajlik na Pojezierzu Sejneńskim (północno-wschodnia Polska)
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) Alexandrowicz, Witold Paweł; Żurek, Sławomir
    Malacological analysis was conducted on snails and bivalve shells present in calcareous gytia and lacustrine chalk of the Gajlik mire in the Sejny Lake District. Thirteen species of water molluscs were identified within six analyzed samples. Changes observed in the structure and composition of molluscs, supplemented by palynological data, and the results of radiocarbon datings allowed for the reconstruction of the mire's evolution during Late Glacial and Early Holocene period. Molluscs' shells occurred solely in sediments associated with warmer periods (interphase Alleröd and Preboreal-Boreal phases of Holocene). Additionally, they were not present in sediments associated with cold Late Glacial periods.
