Abstract: A short description of gastropod fauna from loess sediments from the Smederevo vicinity is presented. The material was collected from four localities in 2002. Due to the terrain coverage observation of loess sediments was not possible on some occasions, while on the other hand, the correlation between our profiles and neighbouring boreholes were possible in some instances. Further studies will include other analyses from sediments, deposited in freshwater environments during the Early and middle Pleistocene and they will also include sedimentological analyses.
