- Abstract
The study of Oligocene fishes from the external sector of the Eastern Carpathians Flysch of Romania (Marginal Folds Nappe or Vrancea Nappe) started more than a century ago. During all this time the research was focused mainly on the Northern exposures of these deposits, while the southern areas remained almost neglected. The aim of this research is to report the occurrence of several Oligocene fishes discovered from a new outcrop. This new outcrop which brings to the surface a part of the Bituminous Marls Formation is found on Coza Valley (Vrancea District). This site could be considered an important landmark in the study of the fish fossils, due to the relative richness of the specimens. Seven genera and five related species were collected and assigned to the following taxa: Keasius parvus Leriche, 1908, Sardinella sardinites Heckel, 1850, Glossanodon musceli Paucă, 1929, Palaeogadus sp., Aeoliscus sp. Oliganodon budensis Heckel, 1856, Anenchelum glarisianum Blainville, 1818.
