Zonation of glaciomarginal environment inferred from Pleistocene deposits of Mysliborz Lakeland, NW Poland

Description :
The study area in Mysliborz Lakeland (Western Pomerania) is located in the glaciomarginal zone of the Pomeranian Phase (Weichselian glaciation). Three subenvironments of deposits are exposed in the six analysed pits : glacial ice-contact subenvironment, transitional subenvironment and glaciofluvial subenvironment. Architectural element analysis highlights the change in lithofacies associations from glacial ice-contact, through transitional to glaciofluvial subenvironments. This sedimentological zonation of the glaciomarginal zone may have been developed in other glaciomarginal belts and remains to be recognized.
