• Description: The fluvial deposits of the Paleo-Svratka River were studied on 3 localities in the broader surroundings of the castle Veveří (NW of Brno). Sediments represent 3 different terraces and their ages range from Upper Miocene to Middle Pleistocene. Petrography of pebbles and heavy mineral assemblages (heavy mineral spectra, garnet and rutile chemistry) reveal differences in provenance of sediments.
