4.1.13 Loess exploitation<br />

Figure 10. Allocation of sandstone and<br />

conglomerate quarries on geostructural units<br />

(1=Apuseni Mountains; 2=Eastern<br />

Carpathians; 3= North-Dobrogean<br />

Structogen; 4=Central Dobrogean Massif; 5<br />

= South-Dobrogean Platform).<br />

5.1.10 Marl exploitation<br />

The marl was extracted in 24 quarries from<br />

12 counties: Bihor (Alesd, Hotar, Fisca<br />

quarries), Botosani (Stefanesti), Brasov<br />

(Tarlungeni), Cluj (Sandulesti), Dambovita<br />

(Crevedia, Malu Rosu, Scaiosi, Muchea<br />

Alba), Maramures (Poiana Botizei, Botiza),<br />

Harghita (Bradesti, Lueta), Hunedoara<br />

(Hotar, Prisloape), Mehedinti (Carabasita,<br />

Gura Vaii, Varciorova), Neamt (Cisirig,<br />

Ciritei, Tepeseni), Prahova (Gura Beliei),<br />

Sibiu (Dealul Daii).<br />

5.1.11 Conglomerate exploitation<br />

17 conglomerate quarries were registred in<br />

Arad (Siria, Padurea Neagra, Mezeriu<br />

quarries), Bistrita Nasaud (Ciceu), Brasov<br />

(Vlades, Dealul Alb, Talineu), Caras Severin<br />

(Iablanita), Constanta (Sibioara), Prahova<br />

(Predeal), Salaj (Fundu Luncii, Zalau),<br />

Suceava (Magura I-II, Muncelu) and Tulcea<br />

(Baia, Blasova) counties.<br />

5.1.12 Chalk exploitation<br />

From the Roman period to present, the chalk<br />

was extracted only in Constanta county. Was<br />

identified 12 quarries (Murfatlar I-V, Cainac<br />

I-II, Basarabi, Valea Seaca, Cuciuc, Cuciuc<br />

Murvat, Calea Omurcea) but dubtlessly their<br />

number is bigger.<br />

In the east and south areas of the Romania<br />

the dust sediments from Pleistocene epoch<br />

(Quaternary period) had generated loess and<br />

loessoid deposits. In some counties, the loess<br />

was extracted: Bacau (Calugara, Magura<br />

quarries), Constanta (Cobadin, Mamaia Sat,<br />

Siminoc, Medgidia I-II), Ialomita (Fierbinti,<br />

Slobozia, Tandarei, Urziceni I-II), Ilfov<br />

(Buftea), Teleorman (Alexandria) and<br />

Bucharest.<br />

5.1.14 Travertine exploitation<br />

In Quaternary (at the limit of the upper<br />

Pleistocene-holocene epochs) period, from<br />

underground warm solutions were generated,<br />

at the surface of the ground, in some areas,<br />

travertine deposits. The travertine<br />

occurrences are located in Hunedoara county<br />

(Banpotoc, Carpinis, Geoagiu, Rapolt<br />

deposits) and Harghita county (Boresec<br />

deposit) (Marinescu et al., 2005 b).<br />

They had been extracted in 21 quarries<br />

from Mehedinti (Breznita Roman quarry),<br />

Harghita (Borsec I-III), Hunedoara<br />

(Banpotoc I-III, Banpotoc – Carpinis I-IX,<br />

Geoagiu I-II, Rapoltu Mic, Carpinis I-II)<br />

countries.<br />

5.1.15 Other sedimentary rocks exploitation<br />

The most important diatomite deposits from<br />

Romania are in Arad, Buzau, Constanta and<br />

Covasna counties (Brana et al., 1986).<br />

Identified diatomite quarries there are in<br />

Arad, Buzau, Constanta and Covasna<br />

counties.<br />

From Roman period to present, calcareous<br />

tuff quarries are known in Bihor, Caras<br />

Severin and Hunedoara counties. The slate<br />

was extracted in Arad, Mehedinti and Tulcea<br />

counties. The marl-limestone was exploited<br />

in Mehedinti and the clay schist in Caras<br />

Severin counties (Parvu et al., 1977).<br />
