Rarău Syncline represents a significant structural-geological unit of the Median Dacides (Eastern Carpathians) with conspicuous implications in the understanding of the evolution of the Alpine-Carpathian belt. This paper selects several Jurassic sedimentary outcrops and brings paleontological and stratigraphical data as arguments for the necessity of their protection and conservation in the near future. The following outcrops are proposed: the Early Liassic olistolith of Praşca peak, the mid-Liassic olistolith of Praşca stream, the ophiolites with sedimentary enclaves of Măcieş hill, the Aalenian olistolith of Măgura hill, the Bajocian klippe of Pojorâta, the Dogger outcrop of Tătarca stream, and the Bathonian exotic block of Valea Seacă stream. In the exposure of each outcrop several steps were followed: kind of protected area (after IUCN classification), geo-tectonic unit, lithostratigraphy, access, scientific arguments, rEason of protection, present phase of conservation and protection; protection measures, historical approach, collections.
