LES TROVANTES. APERÇU GENERAL ET ETUDE DE CAS DANS LE NORD DE LA DEPRESSION DE PUCIOASA (LES SUBCARPATES DE IALOMITA)

Abstract
The sarsen stones are forms of the petrographical relief, typical in the Ialomiţa Subcarpathians, where they appear in sarmatian sands. The sarsen stones are formed by the concretion of sands, resulting spherical blocks of sandstones. The sarsen stones have different shapes, sizes and clusters. The sand concretion is also produced in horizontal layers. As a rule, in the present-day relief, the sarsen stones in the Pucioasa region are well preserved. They are often affected by physical weathering (exfoliation). Given the scientific interest of the sarsen stones in the research area and their importance for the landscape, we suggest the founding of a geomorphological reservation.
