“…At Szymanowo the same nine samples used in the biometric study of V. diluvianus were analysed for molluscs (Szymanek 2007(Szymanek , 2008(Szymanek , 2011. They were each 10 cm thick and were collected from an excavation ca.…”

“…2). Their age was established on the basis of the pollen analysis (Albrycht 2002b;Szymanek and Bińka 2006;Szymanek 2007Szymanek , 2008Szymanek , 2011, as well as the molluscan fauna, which included two species characteristic of the Mazovian, Viviparus diluvianus (Kunth, 1865) and Lithoglyphus jahni Urbański, 1975(Albrycht et al 1995Szymanek 2011). In Britain V. diluvianus is also regarded as an indicator of the Hoxnian stage = early part of MIS 11 (Kerney 1971;Meijer and Preece 1995;Keen 2001;Roe 2001;White et al 2013), whereas in the Netherlands it appears in both the Holsteinian and Tiglian (Meijer 1989;Gittenberger et al 2004).…”

“…The next malacological studies at Szymanowo were connected with a biometrical investigation of Viviparus diluvianus shells (Szymanek 2007(Szymanek , 2008(Szymanek , 2011, when nine samples were collected from excavations located at the margin of the Holsteinian deposits, ca. 1.2 km north of the WH-71 profile (Text- fig.…”

“…A detailed analysis of the mollusc assemblage was therefore not the main focus of that study, which merely provided some environmental background for the morphometric changes shown by V. diluvianus. Pollen analysis suggested that the deposits accumulated during the final part of the climatic optimum of the Mazovian Interglacial (Szymanek and Bińka 2006;Szymanek 2007Szymanek , 2008Szymanek , 2011. According to K. Bińka, the optimum itself was restricted to the Carpinus-Abies pollen Zone (Bińka 1994;Bińka andNitychoruk 1995, 1996;Bińka et al 1997).…”

Szymanek, M. 2014. Environmental changes of the Mazovian (Holsteinian /~MIS 11) palaeolake near Szymanowo (eastern Poland) in the light of malacological analysis. Acta Geologica Polonica, 64 (2), 249-260. Warszawa.The malacofauna of the palaeolake deposits at Szymanowo (eastern Poland) was investigated. It represents the younger part of the climatic optimum of the Mazovian (Holsteinian) Interglacial (~MIS 11) and possibly the postoptimal period. The mollusc assemblage is composed of both standing and running water species, mostly connected with temperate climate. The presence of biostratigraphical indicators of the Mazovian, Viviparus diluvianus (Kunth, 1865), Lithoglyphus jahni Urbański, 1975 and Pisidium clessini Neumayr, 1875, is noteworthy. Variability in the structure and composition of the assemblage enables palaeoecological reconstruction. Changes in the water-level, vegetation and energy conditions are inferred from the malacological succession. Three stages of the lake development were distinguished. The first one is connected with deeper conditions and predominance of V. diluvianus and L. jahni. The second one, dominated by Bithynia tentaculata (Linnaeus, 1758), records a fall of the water-level and the growth of aquatic plants, evidenced by high frequencies of Valvata cristata Müller, 1774 and Acroloxus lacustris (Linnaeus, 1758). The third stage corresponds to another rise of the water-level and an increase in V. diluvianus, L. jahni, Valvata piscinalis Müller, 1774 and Pisidium henslowanum (Sheppard, 1823), which evidence some higher energy conditions.

Stable oxygen and carbon isotope investigations were conducted on shells of the freshwater gastropod Valvata piscinalis from palaeolake deposits of Holsteinian age (Marine Isotope Stage 11) from eastern Poland. The isotope record of this species was used for the first time as an archive of environmental conditions for selected lakes between the protocratic stage and the post‐optimum period of the interglacial. The lowest δ18O and δ13C values of −8.1 and −12.1‰, respectively, were recorded in the Picea–Alnus zone at Ortel Królewski palaeolake. The sparse vegetation and low productivity of that time are reflected in the relatively low δ13C values. The first significant increase of temperature was recorded in the Taxus zone (i.e. an increase in δ18O). The higher temperature influenced the expansion of macrophytes, which stimulated enhanced photosynthesis. Similar mean δ18O values in the Taxus and Pinus–Larix zones imply no distinct temperature change. V. piscinalis populations from Ossówka–Hrud and Roskosz palaeolakes record variations in lake productivity during the climatic optimum of the interglacial (Carpinus–Abies zone). The δ18O values of that time are relatively high (up to −4.5‰) and reveal no significant differences between the lakes. Decreases of the oxygen isotope values in the Szymanowo lake reflect post‐optimum cooling.
