Abstract:
The association of macro- and microflora founded in the outcrop from Stan’s Hill is of
the Basarabian age. It consists of 12 taxa of macroflora and 66 palynological taxa. There
was observed a domination of monocotyledonous angiosperms represented by Typha
(among the macrofloristic taxa), the Daphnogene gender being for the first time mentioned
in the Sarmatian of the Moldavian Platform. Among the palynomorphs there were
identified taxa belonging to the Pinaceae, Taxodiaceae, Fagaceae, Ulmaceae,
Juglandaceae families. Based on this paleoflora, we have assumed that there was little
biocenosis and palaeoclimate during the sedimentation of the analyzed deposits. The
palaeoclimate was assumed using the “Coexistence approach” method (Mosbrugger and
Utescher, 1997).
