Miocene carbonates contain lot of geomorphological features like merokarst in Sremcica, Barajevo, Ostruznica etc.(Cvijic, 1926). Younger Quaternary deposits, the loess and the other mask many of older karst appearances in the Miocene. Both the Badenian reef limestones and the Saematian limestones locally, make the geological base of the center of Belgrade. They have many caves and semi-caves, which have been using as food store and refuge for people during the history (Tasmajdan, Kalemegdan). Miocene karst limestones have great significance as reservoirs of groundwater. A few centuries ago, many of springs in those limestones are used as high quality drinking water. Recently, the modern hydrogeological explorations have tried that provide new sources of drinking water from the Miocene carbonates. Most of exposed Miocene sections, more or less karstificated are argued in the Serbian geoheritage list.
