<p>Fossil preservation in  lacustrine marls is fairly common so it is really not that indicative of anything. Species might be used for wider correlation, but that's about it. </p>

<p>How to interpret lots of gastropoda fossils seen in lacustrine marls? Do they indicate any paleoenvironment conditions? Depth, temperature, chemistry, ph?</p>

Is there any significance of lacustrine gastropoda fossils regarding paleoenviroment interpretation?
