Abstract
Summary: A freshwater and land molluscan assemblage from an Ipswichian stream channel at Maxey, Cambridgeshire, is discussed. The presence of Belgrandia marginata and Vallonia enniensis suggests that summer temperatures may have been somewhat warmer in the Ipswichian period. The assemblage represents the silting processes under relatively quiet water conditions, possibly in a side channel or backwater of a meandering river system.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
