An analysis of data from the literature, on summer thaw depths and cryoturbation in present-day cold areas, shows that the thickness of fossil cryoturbated deposits cannot be correlated to the July temperature of that time. It is suggested
that the thickness of fossil cryoturbated deposits has positively influenced by thermokarst.

A comparison is made between the sequence of human fossils found in northern China along with their associated mammalian fossil and the loess-paleosol sequence. It is found that for the last 1200 ka, the flourishing period of the hominid with its
The purpose of this paper is to compile information on marine fossils in beaches around Antarctica that may have been impacted by meltwater associated with ice sheet marginal variations during the Holocene.
In the Nordic areas there are indications of fossil ice-wedge polygons in the ground surface, e. g. as: (1) a pattern of shallow furrows, (2) crop marks in cultivated areas. The paper intends to give a survey of and to discuss applicable methods
for dating the formation or fossilization of such ice-wedge, polygons (shoreline diagrams, C-14 dating or tephrochronology).
Some vertebrate and mollusc fossils have been found on the southern hillslope of the Mátra Mountains near the village of Atkár. The fossils occured in the upper part of an 8-13 m thick Pannonian sand unit. The age of the fossils remains are ca. 6 Ma
During the road construction work near the city of Pécs (South Hungary), many fossils were found in September 2008. New finds of bone and teeth remains of Mammoth Steppe fauna from Upper Pleistocene fluvial sediments are reviewed. The complete Late
Pleistocene megafauna appears to be represented here. The study contains the detailed analysis of fossils found and gives a paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the Kozármisleny site. - (AM)
A fossil assemblage containing molluscs, ostracodes, and fish has been recovered from lacustrine sediments from near Connersville, southeastern Indiana. This paper describes and interprets the paleomagnetic, aminostratigraphic, and fossil data
Propositions for the legend of a man showing the distribution of fossil periglacial phenomena as evidence for permafrost at the maximum of the last glaciation (post-Denckamp ca. 30,000 B.P. till pre-Bolling ca. 13,000 B.P.)
The legend is based on the opinion that only ice-wedge casts, fossil sand wedges, deep fossil frost cracks, pingos and pingo-like scares and fossil permafrost depressions are reliable indicators of former permafrost.

Radiocarbon dating of fossil soils sometimes sets a difficult problem of interpretation because of the complexity of dynamic processes of organic carbon in the soil. Yet, fiability of dates mainly depends on the validity of the samples.
