RHAETIAN FORAMINIFERS FROM THE WESTERN BLACK SEA SHELF: NEW EVIDENCE FOR HETEROZOAN CARBONATE FACTORIES IN THE PALAEOTETHYS
The North Dobrogean Orogen (NDO) is a NW-SE trending fold-and-thrust belt in the eastern foreland of the Alpine Carpathian Orogen, palaeogeographically representing the westernmost segment of the Palaeotethys-issued Cimmeride Orogenic System. Eastwards, the NDO structurally extends into the Romania...

The North Dobrogean Orogen (NDO) is a NW-SE trending fold-and-thrust belt in the eastern foreland of the Alpine Carpathian Orogen, palaeogeographically representing the westernmost segment of the Palaeotethys-issued Cimmeride Orogenic System. Eastwards, the NDO structurally extends into the Romanian sector of the western Black Sea continental shelf. The Triassic development of North Dobrogea is well known for its Tethyan-type facies and richness in various groups of fossils, but little attention has been paid to microfacies and fossil content of the offshore Triassic. The drill hole 817 LV of the Lebăda Vest oilfield, offshore Romania, ends in the Rhaetian (Upper Triassic) limestone olistolith, from which a rich association of foraminifers and ostracods was recovered. The limestone also contains sponge spicules, mollusc fragments, echinoderm ossicles, bryozoans, and brachiopods. Foraminiferal assemblage from the residue consists of agglutinated species only. Tolypamminids, Gaudryinopsis triadica (Kristan-Tollmann), G. triassica (Trifonova), G. kelleri (Tappan), Ammobaculites tzankovi (Trifonova), A. zlambachensis Kristan-Tollmann, Verneuilinoides racema (Trifonova), and Trochammina spp. predominate.
