Abstract. The drumlin section recently discovered near Hörmating in the Upper Bavarian area of the Würm Glaciation and evaluated with regard to stratigraphy, paleoclimatology, and chronology by E. Ebers (in this annual) can closely be correlated with the typical loess section of eastern Lower Austria, particularly with its Fellabrunn (Göttweig) fossil soil complex as described and interpreted by F. Brandtner. The Göttweig loamificaton developed during the Hörmating Interstadial from c. 47000 (or 48000) until the close marked by a thin peat layer 45300±1000 C-14 years old. As some findings are suggestive of at least one cold oscillation, the term „Göttweig Interstadial Complex" appears to be correcter. This period interrupted the glacial climate of the Würm Glaciation from c. 47000 (or 48000) until c. 30000 B. P. The northern alpine Piedmont Glaciation was initiated by an advance-gravel later on weathered on the surface probably during the Paudorf Interstadial and advanced entirely (or almost entirely) during the Main Würm Stage from the (Swiss) Aare to the Salzach rivers, after several Lower Würm gravel masses had poured out of the Alps valleys during the Early Würm Stage. This Lower Würm gravel was capped by a weathered (decalcified) stratum 2-3 metres in thickness and can contain up to three interstadial Schieferkohle (Pleistocene lignite) beds intercalated, the lowermost overlying a Schieferkohle stratum deposited during the Riss-Würm Interglacial at some sites.

The Fore-Carpathians part of Svicha River valley partially covers Morshyn and Zalissia Uplands and Stryi-Zhydachiv depression. Within the Svicha and Sukil' river valleys, there are well-developed different-age terraces with thick stratified loess covers. The investigation of the last ones can help to define nomenclature and age of the terraces. The loess covers of the third (Kolodiiv) and the fourth (Mariampil) terraces, which are represented by Pidberezhzhia and Mizhrichchia sections accordingly, are characterised in detail in the article. Pidberezhzhia section represents a sequence of alluvial and covering deposits of the third (Kolodiiv) over-floodplain terrace of Svicha River, which is developed on its right bank. The terrace is stretched out in the form of a narrow (about 2 km) strip from the village Zarichchia to the village Novoselytsia. It is separated from the Svicha riverbed by the system of different-altitude floodplain levels and the first and second over-floodplain terraces. The boundaries between them are morphologically distinct, the exceeding of the surface of the Kolodiiv terrace above the water level in the riverbed of Svicha reaches 10 m or even more. Covering loess-soil series on the terrace has a capacity of more than 6 m and begins with the Horokhiv fossil soil complex. Mizhrichchia section represents the fourth (Mariampil) over-floodplain terrace, which to the north of Mizhrichchia village forms a scarp to the riverbed of the Svicha River, about 20 m in height. The terrace on this part of the valley of the river covers small areas and it is developed between the villages of Zarichchia and Mali Didushychi. Almost along its length, the terrace directly scarps to the riverbed. On the opposite side, where the rear seam is, it borders on the fifth (Galician) over-floodplain terrace, which forms a scarp about 10 m in height. Loess cover on the fourth terrace is up to 14 m thick. There are welldeveloped Dubno fossil soil (MIS 3) and Horokhiv fossil soil complex (MIS 5) and a thick sequence of hydromorphic deposits, which obviously correspond to the Korshiv fossil soil complex (MIS 7) in loesspaleosol series. The studied Pleistocene covers allow us to reliably identify Mariampil and Kolodiiv terraces of the Svicha River, as well as outline the nomenclature of the remaining terraces of the adjacent sections of the Zalissia and Morshyn Uplands and Stryi-Zhydachiv depression. Key words: river terrace, loess-soil covers, Dubno fossil soil, Horokhiv and Korshiv fossil soil complexes, Fore-Carpathians, Zalissia and Morshyn Uplands.

Key section Pidvolochysk is located in the quarry of the currently inactive brick factory. It represents the Upper and Middle Pleistocene loess-soil series as well as some fossil paleocryogenic forms of the Khmelnytsky Plateau of the Podolian Upland. The ice-wedge casts of the Final Pleistocene (Krasyliv) palaeocryogenic stage are presented here especially intensely. One of them is studied on the engineering-geological aspect. In particular, it has been defined, that the loess filler of ice-wedge cast, in contradistinction to loesses that contain it, is loose and subsiding. This is of great importance for the engineering-geological evaluation of the properties of loess-soil strata. Key section Pidvolochysk is well stratified. Two Upper Pleistocene loess horizons (MIS 2, 4) and the upper horizon of Middle Pleistocene loesses (MIS 6) are disclosed here. Besides loess horizons, Dubno fossil soil (MIS 3) and Horokhiv fossil soil complex (MIS 5), as well as delluvial-solifluctional stratum above Dubno, are developed here. The engineering-geological properties of the loess and palaeosol horizons, including their subsidence, have been studied in detail. Individual characteristics of distinct stratigraphic horizons are given. It can be used during the engineering-geological research in the areas of distribution of Pleistocene loess-soil series. Key words: loess-soil series, key section, Pleistocene, palaeocryogenesis, engineering-geological features, Podolian Upland.

Abstract. In the brickyard at Mnesice near Nové Mesto on Váh (Western Slovakia) a differentiated loess profile was exposed which is of primary importance for the stratigraphy of loess series in Central Europe. In this profile two thick fossil soil complexes are to be seen, whose basal layers contain molluscan fauna of maximum interglacial with Helicigona banatica (Rssm.). In the upper part of the younger soil complex Szeletian and in the lower layers Moustérian were established. The basal lessivé with the underlying beds yielding Banatica-fauna can be placed in the Last Interglacial, whereas the upper section comprises also soils of "W 1/2-Interstadial" age. The early Würmian loess is here not present. In the overlying loess a soil complex corresponding to the Paudorf Interstadial is weakly developed in which Gravettian was found. The earlier soil complex of great thickness is characterized by two lessivé soils. In the uppei layers Levalloisian, in the lower ones Clactonian has been ascertained. The earlier lessivé is underlain by calciferous beds with scattered warm molluscs. From the comparison with classic loess profiles in Bohemia and Moravia it follows, that the lower thick soil complex in Nové Mesto on Vah corresponds to the Interglacial which precedes the Eemian Interglacial but is younger than the interglacial following immediately the "Elster" glaciation. It is evident that the "Ohe- or Altriss/Jungriss" Interglacial or a younger separate section of the "Holstein" Interglacial is here concerned. The loess profile at Nové Mesto occupies a special position in the area of the Carpathian Basin with regard to the fact that it contains not only five Palaeolithic horizons but also two successive interglacial complexes palaeontologically evidenced.

Abstract. Several new gravel pits have been opened near Rosenheim in the formerly glaciated foreland of the Alps in Bavaria. Some new observations could be made in the centre of the Inn-Piedmont Glaciation area. There has been no „Stephanskirchen Stage" during the retreat of the Würm glacier. Instead of endmoraines, near Stephanskirchen, Laufen gravel deposits covered by boulder clay of Main Würm Glaciation are found. Some Inn drumlins, not so well shaped and streamlined as elsewhere, contain cores made up from different Laufen Interstadial deposits, especially from this same Laufen gravel. There is developed one outstanding „Middle Wurm" (Woldstedt 1958) profile in a drumlin near Hörmating (Ostermünchen-station on the line Munich—Salzburg). In the southern end of this drumlin and in its Laufen gravel core is to be seen a lacustrine intercalation with a small peat layer very much compressed and dated Gro 45 300 ± 1000 years B.P. In the northern end of the Hörmating drumlin on the same level, there is a thoroughly weathered decalcified gravel zone developed, representing Göttweig Interstadial interval. The beginning of this Göttweig weathering can be fixed by now (44 000—42 000 years before today). Göttweig Interstadial is identic with Laufen Interstadial of A. Penck. There is another weathered zone (Paudorf Interstadial?) on the top of the gravel layer and beneath the covering boulder clay, this latter belonging to Main Würm Glaciation.

Eemian Interglacial

The Horokhiv fossil soil complex was formed during the Eemian interglacial and early interstadials of the Upper Pleistocene (MIS 5) within the Podolian Upland. It can be considered as a marking horizon which is quite easy to diagnose. During the Eemian interglacial forest soil was formed and during the early interstadials of the Upper Pleistocene, there were formed three low-thickness and mainly chernozems-like soils which were highly deformed by delluvial-solifluctional processes. These interstadial soils had been called the Kolodiiv soils. All the Kolodiiv soils currently are described only in the Proniatyn section on the Podolian Upland. In the most cases above the Eemian soil, there is the thick humus-accumulative horizon of the second phase Horokhiv soil are developed. It is hard to differentiate this horizon to the distinct soils. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that on Podillia to the south from Ternopil-Khmelnytskyi latitude during the first (Eemian) stage of soil formation chernozems also were formed. Therefore, it is not always easy to distinguish separate soil horizons of the first and second phases in the profile of Horokhiv pedocomplex. The aim of this work is to investigate the characteristic features of micromorphological structure of the Horokhiv fossil soil complex and on its basis to find out the palaeogeographical conditions of the time when it was formed. A common method of micromorphological studies of fossil soils was used to achieve the goal. General lithological and micromorphological descriptions of the Horokhiv fossil soil complex in a number of key sections of the Podolian Upland are given in the article. The results of micromorphological studies indicate that the soils of the Horokhiv pedocomplex contain a significant amount of carbonate concretions (mainly microcrystalline forms of calcite), often ferruginous, with the numerous evidences of the ferruginous clay movement down the profile in the microstructure. The changing nature of the water-air regime was inherent to them. The nature and content of organic residues, the orientation of the clay material, and the presence of ferruginous manganese concretions make it possible to speak about sufficiently favourable conditions for the development of vegetation. Palaeogeographical interpretation of natural geographical conditions of the Horokhiv fossil soil complex formation based on the analysis of its microstructure allows us to conclude that the pedocomplex could be formed in the conditions of dry steppes and it is similar to modern chernozems. Key words: loess, fossil soil, Horokhiv fossil soil complex, micromorphological analysis, thin sections, Pleistocene, delluvial-solifluctional processes.

Different Parts

New geological and geomorphological investigations carried out in different parts of the Fore-Carpathian region of the Dnister River basin gave an opportunity to distinguish at least four separate different-age levels (terraces) within the Loyeva level (sixth terrace): Torhanovychi, Dubrivka, Susidovychi and Biskovychi. In the Solonske section the alluvial and cover loess-soil sediments from the Lower to Upper Pleistocene of the total thickness of about 30 m are revealed. Loess-soil series of the investigated section represents a number of loess and palaeosol horizons from modern soil (MIS 1), which is developed on the Horokhiv fossil soil complex (MIS 5), to the soil with spot-medallions (MIS 17–19). The last one was formed above the permafrost and obviously can be correlated with one of the soils of fossil soil complex of Zahvizdia type. A very thick (almost 10-meter) stratum of deposits that, apparently, have a limnic origin is underlying this soil. Alluvial deposits, which are directly under the limnic stratum, are composed of the channel and flood-plain facies and represent one of the identified separate levels of the Loyeva level (the sixth over-floodplain terrace of the Dnister River). In Solonske section two levels of the development of palaeocryogenic structures like spot-medallions are revealed (above the Lutsk fossil soil (MIS 9) and over one of the soils of fossil soil complex of Zahvizdia type). Undoubtedly, under the conditions of the proper further investigations of the section, Solonske can become a key point for Pleistocene not only for Fore-Carpathians. It will be important in determining the time of the formation of different-age levels of the Loyeva level. Key words: loess-soil series, alluvium, terrace, palaeocryogenesis, spot-medallions, Pleistocene, Loyeva level, Dnister, Fore-Carpathians.
