The Mastogloia Sea (also Early Littorina Sea, Initial Littorina Sea) is one of the prehistoric stages of the Baltic Sea in its development after the last ice age.[1] It is characterised by distinctive deposits of the calciferous shell of species of the diatom Mastogloia that were used for paleoenvironmental reconstructions.[2][3] This transition took place at different times in different parts of the Baltic basin c. 9000 years ago following the Ancylus Lake stage and preceding the full Littorina Sea stage.[a]
