Abstract

During the geological mapping for the Detailed Geological Map of Poland in the scale 1:50000, a new site of the Eopleistocene deposits was discovered. The profile is in the sand pit situated in the woods by the Teremiec village, near Dubienka, in south-eastern part of Lublin Upland. For the first time in Eastern Poland a rich fauna of molluscs was found, in the lowermost layers of these deposits. All suites or Eopleistocene sediments were deposited by the river flowing from south to north. These fluvial deposits occur recently on the surface of upland distinctly elevated in the area being under study.
