UPPERMOST CRETACEOUS CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSILS IN RED PELAGIC SEDIMENTS (ROMANIAN CARPATHIANS).

Calcareous nannofossil investigations were carried out on successions cropping out in an expanded section situated in the Romanian Carpathians bend area (nearby the Pucheni village, Dâmbovia River basin). Nannofossil biostratigraphy indicates a Santonian - late Maastrichtian age for the investigated deposits. The studied red and variegated sediments are correlated with similar deposits occurring in the bend region of the Romanian Carpathians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
