Late Pleistocene loess.

Three loess units and two palaeopedological layers are preserved in the nearly 8 meter thick Miseluk exposure, Vojvodina, Serbia. Amino acid geochronology provides stratigraphic correlations between loess units L1 and L2 at Miseluk with loess of glacial cycles B, and C, from other central European localities. Magnetic susceptibility and sedimentological evidence indicate several episodes of cold-dry and warm-wet palaeoclimatic conditions during the last ca. 150 ka. Malacofauna investigations at Miseluk demonstrate significant similarities to the Paleopreilyrian fauna of the south Transdanubia region in Hungary, which suggests a refugial character during periods of loess accumulation.
