Abstract

The origin of sediments forming loess deposits is the subject of a long‐standing debate. To determine the provenance (i.e., formative processes, environmental conditions of source areas and geographical sources) of Polish and Ukrainian loess, silt grains from 32 profiles of loess deposits and some of their potential source sediments (glacial till and glaciofluvial kames) were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Silt grains were randomly selected from two grain‐size fractions (0.040–0.050 mm and
