Abstract:This article reports on an Early Saalian proglacial lake formed between the Scandinavian Ice Sheet and the front of the Sudeten Mountains, Poland. Sediments investigated at Mysłów point to a transition from glacifluvial to glaciolacustrine environments. The bulk of the sediments was deposited in deep‐water Gilbert‐type deltas (A–E complexes). A delta plain (topset) gradually passes into a subaerial plateau and then a clastic shoreline and the subaquatic slope of a prograding delta (foreset). The glaciolacustri… Show more
“…The sedimentary record from this period was presented by Salamon et al (2013), showing the succession of a narrow, proglacial lake. A similar situation was described by Krzyszkowski et al (2019b). The ice sheet then crossed/overcame the SMF barrier (Fig.…”

“…16 -3a), when the ice sheet reached far to the south, the area was covered by the ice sheet to the line of the Sudetes Mountains (Czerwonka & Krzyszkowski 1992, Marks 2011, and there was a local break in the ice sheet continuity, and the formation of a lake took place at the study site. Based on lithopetrographic studies, the depositional sequence exposed in the Mokrzeszów pit can be interpreted as the upper part of deltaic sediments accumulated from the south-east to a small ice-dammed lake that formed between the advancing ice sheet and the edge of the Central Sudetes (Salamon et al 2013, Hanáček et al 2018, Krzyszkowski et al 2019b. A similar situation was described by Salamon (2009) for the Polish part of the Eastern Sudetes (see Fig.…”

The article presents the results of research from the Mokrzeszów site in the Sudetic Foreland. Lithopetrographic and sedimentological analyses of sediments from the Middle Polish Glaciations (Early Saalian, Odranian, MIS6) in this area indicate the overrepresentation (90–95%) of large Scandinavian erratics. The deposits, representing a repetitive sequence of Gp-Gms-Sp-Sh/Sr(Dmm) lithofacies, accumulated during at least two episodes of glacial outburst floods and six sedimentary cycles. High-energy flows are estimated for the Gms and Gp facies at about 5 m∙s−1 and low-energy flows indicate 0.8 m∙s−1 for the Sp/Sh/Sr facies, to the lack of flow (Fm). The sedimentary sequences confirm the existence of a fan, which may have originated as a subaqueous steep coarse-grained fan in glacial-flow-lake-outburst floods that formed between the ice sheet front and the morphotectonic edge of the Sudetic Marginal Fault line and within the Roztoka-Mokrzeszów Graben, or as an aerial, piedmont fan on the Sudetic Marginal Fault edge. The sediments show discontinuous deformations – gently sloping faults and fractures from glacioisostatic stresses. The fault activity is probably related to the reactivation of the faults due to ice loading during or after the older Saalian glaciation.

“…Eratický materiál je ale součástí i terminoglaciálních až proglaciálních výplavových sedimentů. V říčních údolích vznikala terminoglaciální jezera, protože po zahrazení ledovcem se fluviální údolí měnila v glacilakustrinní vnitrohorské pánve, intenzivně vyplňované hrubými deltovými klastickými sedimenty (Salamon 2014;Hanáček et al 2018;Krzyszkowski 2013;Krzyszkowski et al 2019). V severních Čechách, Rejvízké hornatině a Porubské bráně progradovaly před nejexponovanějšími výběžky ledovce terminoglaciální kužely a údolní proglaciální řeky, transportující eratika do předpolí zaledněného území (Nývlt, Hoare 2000;Tyráček 2011;Hanáček 2011).…”
A single find of erratic Baltic flint in the Slezské Beskydy Mts. represents a rare evidence of glaciation in the area. The find originates from fluvial deposits of Weichselian valley terrace of the Hluchová Stream, tributary of the Olza River. The erratic was reworked from Elsterian sediments deposited by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in a very marginal position near its maximum extent in Outer Western Carpathians. Based on morphological analysis, the surface of the erratic was abraded by wave action in the source area on the Baltic shore and subsequently by glacial and (glacio)fluvial transport. Position of the find proves the glaciation of the Olza River valley by a greater ice lobe, than previously assumed.
