Article
This review aims to present an updated lithostratigraphic framework of the northern Danube Basin in Slovakia, consistent with recent shifts in geochronology and depositional system redefinitions based on sedimentology and seismic stratigraphy. Several transgressive-regressive sequences are distinguished: Lower Badenian (Middle Miocene), represented...

This study examines the suitability of the authigenic 10Be/9Be dating method to the dating of the deposits of an incising river, taking as an example the Nová Vieska river terrace, which accumulated during the neotectonic inversion of the Danube Basin (western Slovakia). The succession was formed by a wandering river with minor preservation of prox...

The authigenic 10Be/9Be ratio provides an important geochronological tool to date a depositional age of clay bearing sediment, nevertheless, recent studies showed that the initial 10Be/9Be ratio might be affected by changes in paleoenvironmental conditions and post-depositional processes. The method is based on the ratio of atmospheric cosmogenic r...

The site complex between Modrovka and Sokolovce centred in Moravany nad Váhom near the town Piešťany (Western Slovakia) is known as „Moravany settlement area”. It consits in a quite short time span between the Early-Upper (Szeletian) and Mid-Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian) also with indeterminate Upper Palaeolithic spots. The sites are distributed...

In this paper we sumarize new data, obtained by geo-logical mapping of the Záhorie lowland region in the years 2006 – 2011. The surface of this region is built mostly by Quaternary deposits, while at the eastern margin also less abundant Neogene and Paleogene deposits and Mesozoic and Paleozoic rocks are present. The oldest Neogene deposits are of...

Stable carbon and oxygen isotope values (δ13C, δ18O) of structural carbonate were determined in the bioapatite component of fossil teeth from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Oxygen isotope compositions of enamel and dentin samples provide new quantitative records of the Late Pleistocene climate in East Central Europe (ECE). These δ18O dat...
