An introduction to the Middle and Upper Pleistocene loess–paleosol sequence at Ruma brickyard, Vojvodina, Serbia

Črvenka loess-paleosol sequence revisited: local and regional Quaternary biogeographical inferences of the southern Carpathian Basin

“…Analysis of the mollusc species from Fruska Gora was started by Endre Krolopp and Pál Sümegi in 2000 [1][2][3][5][6][7][8]111]. Unfortunately, we have only a few malacologically analyzed profiles from the eastern part of the mountain that cover 1200-1500 years long intervals.…”

“…New results have been attained from paleoecological analyses of the southern part of the Carpathian Basin [1][2][3][4] especially in the field of Quaternary malacological analyses in the Vojvodnia (Vajdaság) region [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Malacological studies merit to Endre Krolopp, Quaternary malacologist (who passed away in 2010), and his follower Pál Sümegi and finally his Ph.D. students Dávid Molnár and Júlia Hupuczi.…”

“…This approach provided the opportunity to analyse the biogeographical situation of the Carpathian Basin at the end of the last glacial. In this paper, we introduce the results of the malacological analysis from a section in the Črvenka brickyard [10,27], located in the Vojvodina region (Serbia), in the southern part of the Carpathian Basin. Data from the Črvenka section were compared to those from other loess sections in the southern part of the Carpathian Basin [1,3,[17][18][19]28].…”

Danube loess stratigraphy — Towards a pan-European loess stratigraphic model

“…An additional important criterion is a relatively uniform stratigraphy over a wide region, with a relatively small number of stratigraphical units in comparison with other European loess provinces Marković et al, 2008;Buggle et al, 2009); this also being facilitated by the drier lower to middle basin climate. Figure 4 shows proposed correlations between MS records of the main sections of the Danube loess area: Paks in Hungary (Sartori et al, 1999), the composite profile of Sedlec near PragueSedlesovice-Sedlec close to Mikulov-Červeny Kopec (Forster et al, 1996), the Serbian sections Batajnica (Marković et al, 2009b), Ruma (Marković et al, 2006), Stari Slankamen 1 (Marković et al, 2003) and Stari Slankamen 2 , Koriten (Jordanova and Petersen, 1999) and Viatovo (Jordanova et al, 2008) in Bulgaria, and the Romanian sites Mircea Voda , Mostiştea (Panaiotu et al, 2001) and Zimnicea (Radan, 2012). A broad-scale correlation with marine oxygen isotope stratigraphy (Lisiecki and Raymo et al, 2005;Berger, 2008) and a potential palaeomagnetic zonation up to the Olduvai Subchron is also proposed (Sartori et al, 1999;Jordanova et al, 2008;.…”

“Urban geosites” as an alternative geotourism destination - evidence from Belgrade

“…However, the public and visitors have expressed a growing interest in geoheritage sites in Belgrade over the last ten years [20,21]. Researches such as Banjac and Rundić [22] were at that time focused on the topic of geotourism, while Belij [23], Mijović and Stefanović [19] and Marković et al [24][25][26] wrote about geodiversity and geoheritage in the city and wider area.…”
