Organic deposits belong to a lake formation. The age of lake deposits is the Aller d time. The Zervynos malacofauna consists of seven ecological groups, eurytopic water molluscs playing the main role (41%). Lake species and those of overgrowing and silting water make only 18%. Lake fauna is characterised by Gyraulus laevis (Alder) and Armiger crista (Linnaeus). Evolution of the ¨ħla River valley is related to the development of glaciokarst depressions. %K malacofauna %K sapropelite %K radiocarbon dating %K the ¨ħla interstadial %K Zervynos %K South Lithuania %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/m6387261485up34n/?p=df84940404df40108a2f49343ebb21d4&pi=6
