Abstract

Palynologic analysis of biogenic sediments from the borehole at Krzyzówki near Koło indicated an incomplete interglacial succession. Preserved fragments of the section prove that deposition was initiated in the late glacial of the Middle Polish Glaciation (Saalian). Above there is a discontinuous Eemian succession and a part of the early Vistulian Interstadial, covered with sediments containing pollen of non-forest vegetation of the Vistulian. Unclear is a top part of the section, in which there are pollen grains of deciduous trees (from the optimum of the Eemian Interglacial). They are presumably redeposited but their derivation remains open.
