At the end of Eocene, demise Tethys Ocean led to formation one largest anoxic seas in last 50 million years Earth history. This long-lived water body, named Paratethys, covered large parts central Eurasia and functioned as a major carbon sink for 15-20 years, characterised by deposition cherts, turbidites black shales. The episode was followed phase instable connectivity where full marine episodes alternated with evaporitic crises lacustrine episodes, resulting molasses, evaporites...
The stone Ensemble from Corbii de Piatrǎ Romania arouses a continuous scientific interest, with the final goal being to obtain an exhaustive and multidisciplinary package of results that will become support extensive restoration project. cave painting stands out as most important affected by advanced degradation among historical monuments in Romania. This article provides for first time radiocarbon dating forms establishing age mortar/plaster used pictorial support. Being very complex...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the thermal maturity Upper Badenian (Middle Miocene) petroleum source rocks Getic Depression, Romania, and characterize dispersed organic matter using petrography associated with Rock-Eval pyrolysis. A total 33 core samples from central–southern part Depression was studied. results show that most values carbon (TOC) < 1% wt.% have a limited potential hydrocarbons (HC) generation, 30% TOC 1.82 kerogen type III, presenting particularly gas generation...
The fresco of the Corbii de Piatră Cave Church, dating from end 13th century and beginning 14th century, is applied to sandstone wall. degradation on large surfaces, with many areas detachment, has been determined by infiltration meteoric water through wall which it applied, as well temperature variations, repeated wetting/drying processes. However, there are small portions that show good adhesion present research, aimed at providing scientific data restorers historians, involves advanced...
Pottery is a complex archaeological material that found ubiquitously in various spatial—temporal frameworks from all over the world; therefore, it of great importance to research. The current paper aims present and discuss results obtained on batch Neolithic (ca. 6000–5000 BC) Chalcolithic 5000–3900 pottery sherds Southern Romania through X-ray Computed Tomography, non-destructive methodology allows for 3D reconstruction precise measurement inclusions voids within ceramic artefacts. Images...
This paper presents research on the degradation processes of fresco painting in cave church Corbii de Piatră Hermitage under influence meteoric infiltration water and environmental factors. The medieval dates from end 13th century beginning 14th century, being painted a sandstone wall. through this wall, temperature variations, environment repeated wetting/drying determined fresco, resulting its detachment large surfaces. established correlations between that take place, structural...
Summary This study describes the burial history and sedimentological aspects of Upper Jurassic limestone from southern part Western Carpathians. Several analyses propose a new view for diagenetic evolution carbonate deposits corelated to tectonic evolution. Previous studies have been focused on paleontological character this sedimentary deposits, therefore we approach that problem by sedimentolocical processes as cementation, recrystalization compactation. The area are strongly faulted...
