Resumen:
Loessdeposits are the main component of the Late Quaternary sequences of Pampa plain, covering the largest loessic area of Southern Hemisphere. Pampan loess tegion lies downwind from source areas located to the S and SW, comprising a large sand sea alluvial systems that drain the eastern Andean piedmont. The molluscan fauna preserved exhibits considerable abundance but low diversity. It is characterized by Succinea meridionalis, associated with Biomphalaria peregrina, taxa living today in the same area.
