- Abstract
Four sites - Murfatlar, Nazarcea, Ovidiu and Palazu Mare (South Dobrogea) - with sedimentary marine deposits and dating back to the uppermost Cretaceous (Senonian) are described. The comparative analysis of the microfauna from these sites revealed a microfauna assemblage rich in foraminifera, ostracods and other fossil microorganisms in the chalk deposits from the Murfatlar quarry. Preliminary observations on the composition and quality (size, and ornamentation) of the microfauna led to paleo-ecological conclusions. We found that the associations are indicate a deep-marine paleosetting and relatively low water temperatures.
