Summary: | Glaciofluvial sediments at Kolnovice originated on an outwash plain running along the ice sheet front. Its material is variable from petrographical and provenance point of view, as it was deposited from various parts of a wide ice sheet front. This contrasts with petrologically monotonous deposits of terminoglacial fans in this area (Písečná and Javorná sites), which originate from one marginal lobe of the ice sheet. In addition, the material in terminoglacial fans comes from the direct surroundings of the sites having been transported only a short distance.
