Deposits accumulated in small karst forms are widespread in the Częstochowa Upland. Loam abounding in limestone lumps and scree, and initial rendsina-type soils are the two main types of these sediments. Shells of molluscs occur frequently in both types of them. Molluscan assemblages are composed of land snails including woodland, open-country and mesophile species. Particular communities correspond with present-day fauna of molluscs living within the Częstochowa Upland. Mollusc-bearing cave and slope sediments have been collected from twenty-five logs deriving from eighteen localities. Deposits filling small karst forms and rendsina soils are connected with the Upper Holocene, especially with the Historical Period.
