They follow mostly from pleistocene climate and topography, so are in general less tightly controlled by bedrock than others. Most terrestrial fossil remains are found either in ponds dating from the receding of previous glaciers or isolated teeth or bone fragments in glacial till. Some important faunas, however, are preserved in pleistocene caves.
i hope this answered your question.
