Abstract

The paper presents well-preserved microfaunas (foraminifers and ostracods) enclosed in cuttings samples and cores recovered by 6 hydrocarbon wells drilled in the Moesian Platform, in Silistea area, S Romania. The lithological and micropaleontological obtained data improve the stratigraphic knowledge at regional level. The analyzed samples contain foraminifera that characterize biozones extending in the Sarmatian, as follows: the middle Volhynian Varidentella reussi, the late Volhynian Elphidium reginum, the early Bessarabian Dogiellina sarmatica and the late Bessarabian Porosononion aragviensis. The ostracod assemblages found were assigned to the Volhynian Cytheridea hungarica?Aurila mehesi biozone. The Sarmatian deposits are unconformably overlaying the Upper Cretaceous ones, characterized by the presence of rich planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal assemblages. Above the Sarmatian deposits, Upper Miocene (Meotian) ones were identified. These enclosed rich brackish ostracod microfaunas.
