- Title
COARSENING UPWARD SEDIMENTATION IN THE MIDDLE PONTIAN DACIAN BASIN, PROGRADING SHORELINE OR DELTA FRONT?

- Abstract
The sedimentological study of a stacked succession of coarsening upward units, cropping out on Ialomiţa River (Central Dacian Basin), furnished data allowing the understanding of the dynamics of sedimentation and the analysis of the main governing factors. The association of the coarsening upward succession with the transgressive clayey sediments of the shallow water Dacian Basin led to the conclusion that the investigated sediments belong to a prograding shoreline system, not to an offshore delta complex. The occurrence of the coarsening upward sediments was not determined by a sea level drop. Changes affecting the source-area, possibly mostly of climatic nature, determined an increased influx of detrital material
