Red paleosol (RP) covering the carbonate basement exposed at the bottom of the loess section was investigated to give a systematic and deeper palaeopedological insight into reddish materials on the island of Susak (Croatia). RP contains different types of Fe and Fe/Mn nodules. After detailed micromorphological analysis with polarizing microscope, nodules were analyzed by the means of scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with EDXS probe and X–ray diffraction. Some nodules contain features as shown on photographs 1 and 2.
