Silurian sediments of the Serbian part of the Carpatho-Balkanides are made of the Graptolite Schists Formation, from the lower part of the acuminatus Zone at the Ordovician-Silurian boundary to the transgrediens Zone at the Silurian-Devonian boundary. The presence of all parts of the Silurian is proved on the basis of graptolite faunas: Llandovery (Rhuddnanian, Aeronian, Telychian), Wenlock (Sheinwoodian, Homerian), Ludlow (Gorstian, Ludfordian) and Pridoli. Two Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) zones (uniformis and hercynicus), with which the deposition of the Graptolite Schists Formation ended in eastern Serbia is also described.

Pannonian marl lies between the underlying heterogeneous Sarmatian deposits and the over- lying set of Pontian sand beds and Quaternary sediments. The open pit is located on the NE range of Fruska Gora, a horst structure with a core of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Paleogene rocks in a complex structural pat- tern. Pannonian sediments, which are part of a younger structural stage, deposited on the horst limbs. The Pannonian marl strata dip at angles from 12° to 26° (to the NNW), forming a monocline. The strata deforma- tions are a consequence of radial tectonics and are a potential source of landslides. The many mollusks (7 gas- tropod and 9 bivalve species) and ostracodes (27 species) and their biostratigraphical position indicate marl deposition throughout the Pannonian age. A paleomagnetic investigation established that the marl has incon- sistent remanent magnetization (with bad statistical parameters), which originates from neoformed magnetite.","PeriodicalId":263923,"journal":{"name":"Geoloski Anali Balkanskog Poluostrva","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115361747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The horses found resemble those from neighbouring countries from the same time period, probably showing the importance of river valleys as migration routes. The Morava River valley runs in a roughly south-to-north direction, connecting, via the Danube and Tisa River valleys the Hungarian Pannonian Plain in the north with northern Greece in the south, via the Vardar River valley in Macedonia.

This primary characteristic of unsaturated soil, i.e., matric suction, should be included in laboratory testing and geotechnical analyses. Direct shear or triaxial testing of unsaturated soil are very expensive and time-consuming and require specially mod- ified equipment. Instead, the prediction of unsaturated shear strength using the soil water characteristic curve, SWCC, and the effective shear strength parameters c' and ϕ ' is a widely accepted practice. In this study, con- stitutive soil-water characteristic curves were obtained from the results of experimental testing by draining sat- urated soil samples under different pressures. This testing was performed for the first time in Serbia in a 15 bar pressure plate extractor according to ASTM standards. The laboratory testing included natural samples of loess sediments with the original macroporous structure and loess sediments with a destroyed soil structure. The influence of the grain-size distribution and natural soil structure on the unsaturated shear strength of Belgrade loess sediments above the ground water level was also evaluated. The obtained results are in accordance with the results from other investigations.","PeriodicalId":263923,"journal":{"name":"Geoloski Anali Balkanskog Poluostrva","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125175122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research methods used were geomorphological analysis (the principal exploration method), measurement of cosmogenic radioactive (10Be, 26Al) and stable (3He, 21Ne) nuclides to determine the erosion velocity (control method) and comparison of the obtained results with the geological exploration data from operative mine workings.
