Repedea Hill Fossil Site and the ancient Ceahlau Massif

Beautiful snapshot of the ancient Ceahlau Massif taken from Repedea Hill, near Iasi - Romania.

The Ceahlau Massif is one of the most notorious mountains of Romania. It is part of the Bistrita Mountains range of the Eastern Carpathians division, in Neamt County, in the Moldavia region.

The two most important peaks are Toaca (1904 m altitude) and Ocolaşul Mare (1907 m altitude).

It is bounded to the east by the Bistrita River and Lake Bicaz, to the south by the Bicaz River.
From the south, the main access point is the village of Izvorul Muntelui, located 12 km north from the town of Bicaz. To the north, Mount Ceahlau is also accessible from Durau.

REPEDEA HILL FOSSIL SITE

The fossils and the limestone discovered in the area were part of the former Paratethys (Sarmatic) Sea. The scientific area includes the limestone walls, the former quarries (oolitic limestone), the caves and an area of the structural plateau.
Many Basarabian lithological outcrops are protected within the scientific reserve and contain a rich and important Sarmatian fossil deposit, representative for the Moldavian Platform. The buffer zone is largely located on the Repedea structural plateau, which represents a reversed cuesta.
