VIII. Quaternary molluscs

Original language description

The Quaternary molluscs from Dolní Věstonice-IIa (Lahmhöfe, Pod lesem, layerss 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 4)) are dominated by gastropods, while bivalves are represented only by 2 fragments of Unio sp. Succinella oblonga, Galba truncatula, Discus ruderatus, and Succinea putris are the most abundant. In the 3e and 3d layers gastropods were relatively numerous, their species and specimen numbers growing upwards, and the highest species and specimen numbers were found in the 3c layer. By contrast, in the lowermost layer 4 and in the uppermost 3b and 3a layers, molluscs are scarce. Absolute numbers of typical loess species are markedly growing in the 3e, 3d and 3c layers,reaching their maxima in the 3c horizon, and substantially decreasing in the 3b and 3a layers. The 3e and 3d layers are relatively rich in species indicating higher moisture to aquatic environment. There were smaller numbers of molluscs from the Dolní Věstonice-II - southern edge. The majority of samples yielded only unidentifiable shell fragments, only the samples from the lenticular bodies 1+2 and 3 were more rich in molluscs. In the lenticular bodies 1 + 2, Succinella oblonga and Pupilla cf. loessica are dominant. In lenticular body 3, Pupilla cf. loessica, Succinella oblonga,Clausilia dubia, Vallonia tenuilabris, and Succinea putris dominate. The fauna includes typical loess elements and indicates generally that the paleoenvironment was a cold-steppe with standing water and/or small water flows. With regard to their species composition and relative abundance, the molluscs from the lenticular bodies 1+2 and 3 are to a certain extent similar to those from the horizons 4 or 3e of the DV-IIa profile.
