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...
