The Palaeonthological Reservation Repedea

It is situated close to the television relay from Repedea Hill, where we can also find an outcrop and some rock quarries reflecting the limestone rocks and gritstones strongly fossiliferous, belonging to Sarmatian.
Professor Grigore Cobalcescu from “Al.I.Cuza” University studied the zone in 1862 and published the paper “Repedea’s Limestone” where he described the fossil fauna that he had discovered in those rocks. This paper is considered the birth document of Romanian geology.

The fossils and the limestone discovered here prove that on this territory there was the bottom of the Sarmatic Sea.
