Lepinjaegid refers to prehistoric river deposits that are rich in organic material and are often found in modern-day Estonia. These deposits are characteristic of the Pleistocene and Holocene periods and are of great interest to paleontologists and geologists due to the preservation of ancient plant and animal remains.

The Lepinjaegid deposits are located along the coast of Estonia, where they were formed as a result of glacial and post-glacial processes. During the last ice age, glaciers scraped off and transported material from the surrounding areas, which was then deposited in the regions that are now known as Lepinjaegid. After the ice age, the climate changed, and the area was flooded, causing the deposited material to sink and become buried under water and sediment.

The Lepinjaegid deposits are unique due to the presence of well-preserved organic material, including tree trunks, roots, and other plant remains. These deposits also contain the remains of ancient animals, such as mammoths and horses, which provide valuable information about the ecosystems and climates of the past.

The study of Lepinjaegid has contributed significantly to our understanding of the geological and ecological history of Estonia. The deposits have been found to contain a wide range of plant species, including trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, which are similar to those that are found in modern-day Estonia. This suggests that the climate and ecosystems of the region have changed relatively slowly over the past thousands of years.

Research on Lepinjaegid has also provided insights into the history of human habitation in Estonia. Archaeological finds from the Lepinjaegid deposits demonstrate that humans were present in the region as far back as the Mesolithic period. The study of Lepinjaegid continues to be an important area of research, offering valuable information about the geological and ecological history of Estonia and the wider region.
