"New data on uppermost top of the Roxolany section, not yet studied by previous
investigations is presented. In middle part of this 4.5 m loess an interval of fossil soil and
some intervals of under- and overlaying loess sediment described. Fossil soil 0.6 m
thickness is initial, embrional and week developed. It is hydromorphis gleyezem of
glacial type. According polled analyze this soil was formed in humid forest-steppe
environment with some cooling in middle part of profile, were cold forest steppe
vegetation with boreal elements appeared. This soil is preceded by cold Prichernomorie
loess (PC1) of LGM stage. From this soil began new stage of humidisation and warming
of Extreme Inundation Epoch in Final Pleistocene. Fossil soil and overlaying loess can be
described as new stages: Roxolany soil and Ovidiopol loess with stratotype in Roxolany
section.
Alluvial equivalents of the last loess stages seem to be a new Dniester terraces
between flood-plain and I Parkany terrace. This “0” Proterrace is known as Ternovka
terrace (Chepalyga, 1986) last time subdivided on the 3 separate levels. All of them are
accumulative terraces: I Heractum (4 m), II Kremenchug (9–10 m) and Slobodzea-Rusa
(15 m) with estimated age: Allerod, Bolling and Lascau.
Detail stratigraphy correlation and climate-landscape events are presented on the
