Detailed description of the sample location:
Gravel pit between Grabiny and Latoszyn, left bank of Wisloka R. valley (50 03 N,
21 22 E), ca 4km SW of Debica, Carpathian Foreland. Gravel-pit Latoszyn, ca 1.5km
long, belongs to series of ref sites in Wisloka R. valley studied in IGCP l58A Project
by Leszek Starkel and coworkers (Starkel, 198 Id). S part of gravel-pit with profiles
A and C is on terrace level IID, 189 to l90.5m asl (Mamakowa et al, 1981, p 64-67,
fig 26), gently inclined to E and encompassing large mature paleochannel with cut
meander neck resembling present channel, with outcrops revealing 4 parts of
sediments of different age within exposed sequence, ca 7m, underlain by series of
gravels ca 14m thick. N part of gravel pit with profile B is on terrace level IIA, ca
187m asl with sequence of sediments, 7 to 14m thick, consisting of top sandy alluvial
loam, upper gravels, sands, and lower gravels.
