Summary

Boreholes drilled at Sandnes, SW Norway penetrated Quaternary (Weichselian) marine interstadial sediments which contained ostracods. The ostracods, which are analysed and discussed, were found to be indicative of cool, probably sub-arctic, shallow-water conditions. Some evidence of faunal mixing is attributed to the effects of glacial meltwater input into a shallow marine environment.
