Ett grustag vid Fiskarheden, som ligger i nordvästra Dalarna, uppvisar tjocka avlagringar av grovkorniga sediment; en sanduravlagring av så kallad Scott-typ som deponerats i en is-proximal proglacial miljö. Preliminära OSL-dateringar av sandursedimenten tyder på att de är av en pre-Saalian ålder (>200 000 år). Av särskilt intresse här är, förutom dess höga ålder pre-daterande det senaste istidsmaxThe Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveal thick deposits of coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association; a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Preliminary OSL dating of the sandur sediments suggest that they are of a pre-Saalian age (>200 000 years). Of special interest here is, besides its pre-LGM age, the large-scale and intense
