Abstract
At environs of the village Dovhe in Ivano-Frankivs’k region (oblast) the fourth, fifth and sixth terraces of the Dnister River are well developed. They occur in the close vicinity to each other and are fully exposed. The authors published sections of the V and VI terraces earlier. In the present paper the description of the IV terrace is given. All the high terraces of the Dnister River from environs of Dovhe show the geological substrate below the alluvial cover. The section over the substrate parts is composed of the gravelly-to-pebbly channel alluvial deposits, sand and clay deposits of the alluvial plain, and covering subaerial loess and paleosoil deposits of the various thicknesses. In the fourth terrace, the complete section of the first and the second phases of the Korshiv paleosoil are exposed, with the entire thickness equal 3.6 m. Therefore, the ancient Korshiv paleosoil complex in the Dovhe section can be the stratotype section for the Forecarpathians. Key words: terrace, alluvium, subaerial cover, loess-soil series, buried soils, soil complexes, paleolit.
