Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: IONESI (1968) outlined in the area between the Siret and the Moldova valleys eight sandstone (limy and oolithic sandstones) levels as lithologic and biostratigraphic markers, named: Pătrăuți I, Pătrăuți II, Burdujeni, Arghira I, Arghira II, Hârtop I, Hârtop II, Hârtop III, Nigotești. The dolphin bone originates in a sandstone bed located just under Arghira II (Figs. 2, 3). Apart this fossil, this bed yielded also several other indeterminate bone fragments, as well as various Volhynian mollusc shells. Among the marker mollusc taxa indicating the Early Sarmatian (Volhynian) are: Plicatiforma plicata (Eichwald), P. latisulca (Münster), Obsoletiforma vindobonense (Partsch), Ervilia dissita (Eichwald), Abra reflexa (Eichwald), Mactra (Podolimactra) eichwaldi (Laskarev), Tapes tricuspis (Eichwald), Potamides mitralis (Eichwald), P. nimpha (Eichwald), P.bicostatus (Eichwald) and P. disjunctus quadricinctus (Sieber). |
