New data on the Early Cretaceous between Gura Sadovei and Pojorâta (Rarău Syncline, Eastern Carpathians, Romania)
Journal Title: Analele stiintifice ale Universitatii "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" din Iasi - seria Geologie - Year 2012, Vol 58, Issue 2
Abstract
The Early Cretaceous (Bucovinian Nappe) deposits have been mapped only on the external flank of the Rarău Syncline, where they form a coarse clastic succession (breccias, conglomerates and sandstones) with very poor fauna. New paleontological data are added through the present paper, the most important regarding the Tethyan ammonite Olcostephanus (Olcostephanus) guebhardti (KILIAN, 1902). This is the second species quoted in the “Muncelu Sandstone and Conglomerate” which can be used to confirm the age of the studied beds. Several observations concerning the breccias and their relation to the subjacent and suprajacent layers are also made.

Lithological and Palynostratigraphical correlations between Silurian Deposits from the Dnestr Basin (Podolia) and the North of the Moldavian Platform (Romania)
The Silurian deposits from the Podolia Region outcrop very clearly along the valley of the Dnestr river and its left-side tributaries. Some of the outcrop deposits are represented by the Malynivtsy Formation (Middle-Uppe...

Presence of the genus Choerolophodon (Proboscidea: Mammalia) within the Moldavian Platform framework (Eastern Carpathians Foreland, Romania)
The reassignment of a mandible fragment bearing an m3 and also a left upper tusk previously described as “Mastodon (Tetralophodon) grandicissivum” to Choerolophodon cf. anatolicus is the leading goal of the paper. The re...
