  abstract = {{T}he trans-boundary {S}lovak-{H}ungarian {D}omica-{B}aradla cave system ({S}lovak and {A}ggtelek karsts), >26 km in length, consists of evolution levels that have been formed in relation to the incision phases of the {J}osva {V}alley. {E}xisting opinions on the age of the well-known cave system have not been based on the dating of cave sediments deposited during older evolution phases. {P}revious {U}-series dating and the first paleomagnetic analyses of dripstones, flowstones and fine-grained allochthonous sediments identified only younger accumulative phases of the cave evolution in {L}ate {P}leistocene. {O}ur cosmogenic nuclide dating ({B}e-10 and {A}l-26) of allochthonous fluvial gravels from the upper and lower levels of the {D}omica {C}ave ({S}lovakia) reveal much older evolution phases. {T}wo burial ages at 3.47 +/- 0.78 {M}a and 2.94 +/- 0.50 {M}a show that the upper level of the cave system originated in, or before, the {M}iddle {P}liocene. {I}ts younger accumulation phases ({E}arly-{M}iddle {P}leistocene) are documented based on magnetostratigraphy and {U}-series dating of fine-grained sediments and flowstones. {T}he {B}runhes/{M}atuyama boundary (780 ka), {K}amikatsura excursion (similar to 900 ka), {S}anta {R}osa excursion (similar to 932 ka) and {J}aramillo magnetozone (similar to 1.001-1.069 {M}a) were identified from the newly studied profile in the {S}ucha chodba {P}assage (the ages of flowstones in upper part of this profile are similar to 130 ka, 173 ka and 199 ka). {I}n some places, several small older (paleokarst?) solutional phreatic cavities are cut by this cave level. {T}he lower evolution level, located 12-18 m below the upper level, originated in the {E}arly {P}leistocene (the burial age of allochthonous fluvial gravels is 1.92 +/- 0.25 {M}a). {L}ow pre-burial denudation rates (3.1-5.6 m/{M}a) correspond with the slowdown or interruption of tectonic uplift of the area and the long-term stabilized erosion base level during the formation of these cave levels. {T}heir origin was linked with the formation of large pediments, of which remnants are preserved on both sides of the {J}osva {V}alley ({H}ungary). {T}he pediments probably correlate to the 'foothill' ({M}iddle {P}liocene) and 'river-side' ({L}ate {P}liocene-{E}arly {P}leistocene) levels in the denudation chronology of the {W}estern {C}arpathians.},
