Stratigraphy and lithology of the loess deposits in eastern Srem, Serbia

Abstract

Eolian loess sediments in the eastern Srem area, the youngest Pleistocene deposits, occur either as a loess plateau, or as a slope-type of loess, formed on the slopes of the Fru{ka Gora Mountain. Lithological, sedimentological, and mineralogical characteristics of these sediments, which were studied from several com- mon clay deposits and boreholes, demonstrated differences between them and the underlying pre-loess sedi- ments, and supported the stratigraphic division of the Quaternary sediments.
