AbstractIn order to constrain the age of the Upper Cretaceous continental Densuş-Ciula Formation from the Haţeg basin, South Carpathians, and correlate it with the other continental unit that occurs in the region, the Sânpetru Formation, we separated and dated by the K-Ar method biotites and amphiboles from volcanoclastic deposits. The mineral phases analysed are from two tuff layers and volcanic bombs cropping out near Rachitova village. Two tuff layers from the Densuş-Ciula Formation give early Maastrichtian ages of 69.8±1.3 and 71.3±1.6 Ma, respectively. The ages determined for the tuff layers constrain the age of deposition for the Densuş-Ciula Formation and enable further correlations with the available palaeomagnetic data from the deposits occurring along the Sibişel Valley that belong to the Sânpetru Formation. The volcanic bombs collected near to Răchitova village are andesites and dacites. The age determined by K-Ar method on hornblende separated from a volcanic bomb is 82.7±1.5 Ma, which is older than the underlying Campanian marine deposits in turbidite facies. This suggests that the volcanic bombs were re-deposited during the early Maastrichtian. Thus, the volcanics found at Răchitova have at least two origins: one type is related to an explosive synsedimentary volcanic activity, and the other type is represented by older andesitic/dacitic bombs, which most probably originate from a volcanic centre situated in the Haţeg region.

Haţeg Basin

In Romania, Maastrichtian (Late Cretaceous) dwarf dinosaur remains were first reported from the Haţeg basin by the Baron Franz Nopcsa, at the end of 19th century. Later, the same expanded his research to others areas of Transylvania, adding new localities with comparable Maastrichtian vertebrate assemblages in Alba and Sălaj Counties. Following Nopcsa, both these regions and topics have not been studied for a long time. In the last decade, new field works succeeded in finding rich and diverse Maastrichtian terrestrial vertebrate fauna in Alba County restricted to a distinct Late Cretaceous sedimentary area (Metaliferi). For these studies, the Şard Formation is of main interest. In this formation, the Maastrichtian is developed in fluvial system environments which are documented by flood plain overbank and channel fill deposits. Besides fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals, the fossils embrace mainly various dinosaurs such as sauropods, hadrosaurs, ornithopods, ankylosaurs, various small-sized theropods, as well as other reptiles as turtles and crocodilians. Often, the remains are fragmentary and dislocated. Besides the Haţeg basin, the Metaliferi area is the second important region documenting the Maastrichtian terrestrial biota in Romania.
