Description

Abstract. This paper presents sedimentological data that point out the evolution of the western flank of the Focșani Basin, during the Sarmatian stage. The facies and their associations are indicative of (fan)delta, shallow- and deep marine palaeoenvironments. Their evolution, in time and space, shows similarities between Putna, Milcov and Râmnicul Sărat areas.
