Trace fossils in the deposits of ice-dammed lakes
Abstract
Trace fossils recorded within ice-dammed lake deposits in western Poland (Urad near Słubice) belong to rarely found marks of life in cold waters in front of Pleistocene ice-sheet. Four ichnospecies have been described and interpreted as traces of walking (stepping) of arthropods on the bottom of an ice-dammed basin during the South-Polish Glaciation. As the knowledge on trace fossils advances they may become useful for biostratigraphic, palaeoecologic and glacial limnologic investigations or even for tectonic (glaciotectonic) interpretations.
