The Mesozoic Carbonate Deposits From The Borehole 6042 Deleni (Transylvanian Depression), Ioan I. Bucur, Marcel-Adrian Piteiu, Emanoil SăSăRan Mar 2012

The Mesozoic Carbonate Deposits From The Borehole 6042 Deleni (Transylvanian Depression), Ioan I. Bucur, Marcel-Adrian Piteiu, Emanoil SăSăRan

Studia UBB Geologia

The borehole 6042 Deleni is among the few wells located in the central part of the Transylvanian Depression that crossed the rocks in the basement. Among these, the Mesozoic deposits were cross-cut along 916 m. Based on the investigations carried out on core samples from the Mesozoic deposits three carbonate units attributed to the Late Oxfordian -Tithonian (?Neocomian) have been separated. A preliminary evaluation of the terrigenous and carbonate-terrigenous deposits overlaying the carbonate ones indicated an Aptian-Albian, respectively Senonian age. Considerations on the paleoenvironment of the Mesozoic deposits studied are also presented.


Upper Jurassic And Lower Cretaceous Sedimentary Formations From The Valcan Mountains (South Carpathians), Grigore Pop, Ioan I. Bucur Mar 2012

Upper Jurassic And Lower Cretaceous Sedimentary Formations From The Valcan Mountains (South Carpathians), Grigore Pop, Ioan I. Bucur

Studia UBB Geologia

The litho- and biostratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous formations cropping out in the southwestern part of Vâlcan Mountains is presented. Five formations were recognised in the studied area: Valea Pragurilor Formation, Valea Cheii Formation, Topeşti Formation, bioclastic-oolitic limestones from Sudoieşi valley and Izvarna Formation. The age of these formations is mainly based on foraminifera and calcareous algae.


New Data Concerning The Age Of Mesozoic Limestone From Scarisoara (Bihor Mountains), Ioan I. Bucur, Bogdan P. Onac Mar 2012

New Data Concerning The Age Of Mesozoic Limestone From Scarisoara (Bihor Mountains), Ioan I. Bucur, Bogdan P. Onac

Studia UBB Geologia

Microfacies and micropalaeontologic studies on some limestone samples collected within the Scărişoara Glacier Cave are presented. The investigation pointed out that the age of the limestone around Scărişoara Cave is of Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) age and not Triassic as it was considered in most of the studies.
