Abstract
Abstract Glaciotectonized clay occurs above the marine limit in the Sjotorp area, c. 22 km WNW of Falkoping in the province of Vastergotland, Sweden. Two directions of glaciotectonics have been determined, first from the W-WNW, followed by a less intense deformation from the NNE. Striae also occur in these two directions. The direction of glaciotectonics from the W-WNW suggests that it occurred prior to the Late Weichselian deglaciation. The micropalaeontological investigation reveals that the pollen flora are not of Weichselian or Holocene age. The micropalaeontological result supports the interpretation, mainly based on the direction of glaciotectonic deformation, that the clay was orginally deposited prior to the latest Weichselian glaciation of the area.
