The stratigraphy of the Serbian Pleistocene Corbicula beds

Stratigraphic revision of the Quaternary material from the vicinity of Belgrade and the Serbian segment of the Tisza valley analysed by V.D. Laskarev

“…The position of these beds was clearly defined by Gaudenyi et al (2015), and was supported with the results of some more recent investigations of the area. Laskarev was the first researcher who identified the C. fluminalis beds in the vicinity of Belgrade.…”

“…The solution is to use the term 'Pleistocene Corbicula' for all representatives of the Pleistocene age (Meijer and Peerce, 2000); the term 'C. fluminalis beds' should be replaced by the term 'Pleistocene Corbicula beds' (after Gaudenyi et al, 2015).…”

“…The V. boeckhi Horizon can be adopted in the Serbian climato-lithostratigraphy of the fluvial warm stages. It represents the lowermost part/subunit of the Pleistocene Corbicula beds of the Lower Pleistocene (Gaudenyi et al, 2015).…”

Stratigraphic characteristics of quaternary deposits on the left bank of the Sava River near Belgrade

“…to the bottom of the borehole, so their exact thickness is not known. According to the available published data, the thickness of these sediments in the area of Ada Ciganlija is approximately 18.0 m, on the left bank of the Sava Ri-ver the thickness decreases, while in the area of Zemun it dramatically increases to more than 100 m (KNEŽEVIĆ et al, 1998;NENADIĆ, 1997NENADIĆ, , 2001NENADIĆ, , 2003NENADIĆ et al, 2009NENADIĆ et al, , 2010NENADIĆ et al, , 2011NENADIĆ et al, , 2015NENADIĆ et al, , 2016NENA-DIĆ & BOGIĆEVIĆ, 2014). Lithologically, the oldest Quaternary deposits in the Sava River valley are composed of heterogeneous gray-brown, gray, brown-reddish clays (mainly greasy and hard), sandy clays, clayey sands, gravelly clays, etc.…”

“…In the Sava River valley in Makiš, on Ada Ciganlija and along the lef bank of the river in New Belgrade, these deposits discordantly overlie the Miocene sediments of the Paratethys (mostly marls of Pannonian age), while in the area of Zemun, they lie over lacustrine deposits of Pliocene age (KNEŽEVIĆ et al, 1998;NENADIĆ, 1997NENADIĆ, , 2001NENADIĆ, , 2003NENADIĆ et al, 2009NENADIĆ et al, , 2010NENADIĆ et al, , 2011NENADIĆ et al, , 2015NENADIĆ et al, , 2016.…”
