Pătruţoiu, Tudor C. R.; Pătruţoiu, Ion
- Abstract
In the western Dacian Basin, the Romanian age starts with a fauna comprised of carved unionidae and robust viviparidae, which appear in numerous crops in Mehedinţi, Dolj and Gorj Counties. The lamellibranchiate species from Răcarii de Jos are replenishing the Romanian palaeontology inventory and are offering new data about the evolution of the retreating Pliocene lake to the east due to the Vlach orogenesis that carried forward with the ascend of the Carpathian Mountains.
