N MIJLOC DE TOAMN
Am dorit s editm acest numr al Buletinului SPR naintea celui de al 4lea Simpozion Romn de Paleontologie, spre a putea fi distribuit membrilor n timpul simpozionului. Nu a fost, din pcare, posibil, pe de o parte pentru c materialele pe care le-am cerut n mod repetat vicepreedinilor i membrilor societii au sosit cu mult ntrziere, iar pe de alt parte datorit evenimentelor multiple, consumatoare de timp i energie, care ne-au ncrcat programul n exces. Iat, n sfrit, n miez de toamn (ora la care se numr bobocii!), ncercm s punem cap la cap cele adunate despre activitatea Societii i a membrilor ei. Avem dou rapoarte de activitate ale grupurilor de la universitile din Bucureti i Iai, o relatare asupra desfurrii celui de al 4-lea Simpozion Romn de Paleontologie i o alta asupra Workshopului de foraminifere care l-a precedat. Activitatea publicistic aduce n prim plan, de aceast dat, articole publicate de unii membri ai Societii n ultimii doi ani. Scurte relatri asupra participrii la amnifestri tiinifice interne i internaionale completeaz acest tablou. Cu ocazia ceului de al 4-lea Simpozion Romn de Paleontologie sau lansat, conform unui deziderat mai vechi, premiile SPR. Avnd deocamdat doar o valoare simbolic, dou din cele patru premii ale Societii au fost acordate doamnei dr. Rodica Ciobanu (Universitatea Cretin Dimitrie Cantemir, Sibiu premiul Ion Simionescu pentru palezoologie) i domnului profesor Leonard Olaru (Universitatea Al. I . Cuza Iai premiul Emil Pop pentru paleobotanic). O prim constatare ar fi legat de numrul redus de oferte trimise spre premiere. O a doua se refer la lipsa iniial a unor detalii privind procedurile de ofertare i de judecare a lucrrilor propuse. Am 1

MID-FALL
We wished to edit this issue of the RPS Bulletin before the 4th Romanian Symposium of Paleontology and to distribute it to the members during the symposium. Unfortunately this was not possible, on one hand because the materials we repeatedly required from the vicepresidents and members were very late, and on the other due to the many time- and energyconsuming events that overcharged our schedule. Finally, in mid-fall we managed to put together the information on the activity of the Society and its members. We have two accounts from the groups at the universities of Bucharest and Iai, an info on the 4th Romanian Symposium of Paleontology and another one concerning the Workshop on Foraminifera that preceded the Symposium. The publicistic activity brings into focus the articles published by some members of the Society in the past two years. Short accounts on the participation at internal and international scientific meetings come to complete the overall picture. On the occasion of the 4th Romanian Symposium of Paleontology, we offered for the first time the SPR Awards. Two of the four Society awards (with a symbolic value, for now) were granted to dr. Rodica Ciobanu from the Dimitrie Cantemir Christian University, Sibiu (the Ion Simionescu Award for paleozoology) and to professor dr. Leonard Olaru from the Al. I. Cuza University, Iai (the Emil Pop Award for paleobotany). A first remark would be linked to the small number of nominations. A second one refers to the initial lack of details concerning the analysis procedures of the nominated papers. We tried to remedy this lack on the way, through an e-mail dialogue. Some decisions taken in the General Assembly and presented in the proceedings of the GA (this issue) will

ncercat s remediem aceast lips pe parcurs, printr-un dialog electronic. Cteva decizii, luate n cadrul Adunrii Generale i prezentate n procesul verbal reprodus n acest buletin, clarific aceste lucruri. Sperm ca la urmtoarea ediie (2005) oferta s fie mult mai bogat i s acopere toate cele patru premii. Vom ncerca de asemenea s gsim nelegerea i generozitatea unor sponsori care s completeze satisfacia moral a premiaiilor cu un minim sprijin financiar. Ioan I. BUCUR

clarify these things. We hope that the offer will be richer and will cover all the four cathegories at the next edition (2005). We will also try to find sponsors to complete the moral satisfaction of the awarded with at least a minimal financial support.

THE ACTIVITY OF GROUPS

UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST
The Group from the Department of Geology and Paleontology has now 19 active members. Worth mentioning is the participation of most members of this group to the IIIrd National Symposium of Paleontology, held at the Alex. I. Cuza University from Iai, September 2001, with papers comprising essential contributions to the fields of: Invertebrate and vertebrate paleontology, Paleoecology, Paleoalgology, Paleobotany, Palinology, Microfacies, Micropaleontology and Stratigraphy. Among the participating RPS members we mention: Acad. Th. Neagu, Prof. O. Dragastan, Prof. D. Grigorescu, Prof. I. Pan, Prof. Aurelia Brbulescu, Conf. R. Damian, Lect. M.E. Popa, Lect. Iuliana Lazr, Asist. Z. Cziki, Asist. P. Crnaru and Asist. V. Barbu. The RPS members from the Department of Geology and Paleontology, University of Bucharest also participated, with the Lucian Blaga University, Sibiu, Babe-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, rii Criurilor Museum, Oradea to the th organization of the 7 European Workshop on Vertebrate Palaeontology. The workshop was held at Sibiu during July 2002 and brought together 17 specialists from Romania and 26 from abroad who presented 23 papers, 18 posters and held 5 public conferences. Three of the RPS members of the Department (Lect. Iuliana Lazr, Asist. Z. Cziki and Asist. V. Barbu) also participated with papers at the Annual Conference of the Geological Society of Romania (SGR) (Mai 2002, Bucharest). In the monthly meetings of the RGS, as well as in the Bucharest Sudent Chapter of AAPG several public Lect. M.E. Popa held three presentations (october, november 2002 and march 2003), entitled: Geology and Paleontology in the Land of Jameson (NE Greenland), Carbonate Platforms from the Caribbean Sea and American National Parks. The RPS members from the Dept. of Geology and Paleontology also published some university textbooks, scientific volumes and PhD theses, which we present as follows:

UNIVERSITATEA Al.I. CUZA IAI

Activitatea desfurat n ultimii ani de Filiala Iai a SPR poate fi abordat din cel puin dou unghiuri, sub incidena crora apar focalizate separat direciile ce o definesc, cu toate c acestea se interfereaz, n cea mai mare parte, ntre ele. I. n primul rnd trebuie menionat cercetarea tiinific paleontologic, care circumscrie preocuprile membrilor filialei din cele dou centre universitare (Iai i Suceava), ca i din uniti de profil geologic (Cmpulung Moldovenesc). Aceast direcie este materializat n lucrri comunicate i/sau publicate n ar sau strintate, n granturi i contracte, finalizate sau n curs de derulare. Enumerarea lor ar reprezenta un inventar sumar i fr prea mare relevan, dac inem seama c numrul lucrrilor nu reflect cu fidelitate valoarea tiinific, de permanena cercetrii, decalajul dintre susinere i publicare etc. De accea, vom trece n revist principalele domenii de cercetare subliniind noutile, contribuiile, tendinele etc. pe care le considerm mai importante. Fr ndoial, studiul Sarmaianului, sub toate aspectele, dar mai ales paleontologic, reprezint o tradiie la Iai, instaurat odat cu prima lucrare geologic n limba romn (Calcariul dela Rpidea de Gr. Coblcescu n 1862) i continuat de-a lungul timpului de Ion Simionescu, Radu Sevastos, Mihai David, Ion Athanasiu, Theodor Vscuanu, Neculai Macarovici, Pierre Jeanrenaud, Natalia Paghida-Trelea, pn la cadrele didactice i studenii de astzi. Din punct de vedere paleontologic sunt studiate molutele, foraminiferele, ostracodele, alte grupe de organisme, cu sublinierea valorii biostratigrafice i separarea biozonelor, evidenierea particularitilor pentru diferite uniti structural-tectonice, corelarea cu alte regiuni din Paratethys, generalizri etc. Contribuiile aduse de coala ieean privind Sarmaianul sunt importante (inclusiv specii noi), conturndu-se i cteva particulariti, care o disting: meninerea Buglovianuluisens Laskarev, ca subetaj n baza Sarmaianului definit de amestecul de faun marin-normal i salmastr, grafia celui deal treilea subetaj (Basarabian i nu Bessarabian), meninerea unitii Sarmaia-

UNIVERSITY Al.I. CUZA OF IAI

The activity undertaken by the Iai section of RPS may be approached from at least two points of view, under whose incidence appear, separately focused, the main directions that define it, though they are mostly interfered. I. The scientific research on Paleontology has to be mentioned in the first place, circumscribing the studies of the members from the two centres (Iai and Suceava), as well as of the ones from geology - oriented companies (Cmpulung Moldovenesc). This direction is marked by the papers preszented and/or published in Romania or abroad, in research grants and contracts. Their ennumeration would be summary and not too relevant if we take account of the fact that their number does not reflect closely their scientific value, the permamence of research, the delay between their presentation and publication etc. Therefore we will review the main research fields, highlighting news, contributions, tendences etc. which we consider more important. The study of Sarmaian under all its aspects, but especially from its Paleontology, undoubtedly represents a tradition at Iai, born along with the first geologic paper in Romanian (Calcariul dela Rpidea by Gr. Coblcescu in 1862) and continued in time by Ion Simionescu, Radu Sevastos, Mihai David, Ion Athanasiu, Theodor Vscuanu, Neculai Macarovici, Pierre Jeanrenaud, Natalia Paghida-Trelea, to the teaching staff and students of our time. From a paleontological standpoint, the studies are focused on molluscs, foraminiferans, ostracods and other groups of organisms, underligning their biostratigraphic value and the separation of biozones, the peculiarities for different structural-tectonic units, the correlation with other Paratethys regions, generalization etc. The contributions of Iai on the Sarmatian are important (include new species) and delimit some particularities: maintaining of Buglovian - sensu Laskarev as a sublevel of basal Sarmatian, defined by the mix of marine-normal and brackish-water fauna, the spelling of the third sublevel (Basarabian not Bessarabian), maintaining the unit of Sarmatian (s.s. and s.l.), the dscontinuity

nului (cu cele dou accepiuni s.s. i s.l.), discontinuitatea dintre Badenian i Sarmaian n unele uniti de platform etc. n prezent, promotorii i exponenii acestei coli sunt acad. prof. dr. em. Liviu Ionesi i prof. dr. em. Bica Ionesi, care au abordat, deja, stadiul lucrrilor de sintez, de integrare a tuturor aspectelor ntr-o viziune unitar, de analiz critic privind valabilitatea i spectrul de evoluie al unor specii, precum i a diferitelor concepii, tendine, lucrri etc. Demne de semnalat sunt cercetrile recente efectuate asupra Sarmaianului din Republica Moldova ( Bica Ionesi, L. Ionesi, Viorica Muntean Contributions ltude de la fauna basarabienne de la rgion de BuzduganaBlneti - Republica Moldova (1999-2000) i Bica Ionesi, Viorica Muntean Contributions ltude de la fauna basarabienne de la coline MguraRepublica Moldova (2001), ambele publicate n analele universitii. Dintre lucrrile de mai mare anvergur asupra paleontologiei Sarmaianului ar mai trebuie amintite monografia conf. dr. Mihai Brnzil, Geologia prii sudice a Cmpiei Moldovei, care a obinut premiul Grigore Coblcescu al Academiei Romne i teza de doctorat a doamnei Viorica Muntean, Sarmaianul din regiunea Fleti-Bujor i Valea PrutuluiRepublica Moldova (2001). Alte lucrri cu contribuii paleontologice sunt datorate celorlali membri din catedr i filial (Viorel Ionesi, Daniel abr etc) i nu numai. Ar mai trebui amintit i sinteza privind depozitele sarmaiene (C. Grasu, Crina Miclu, M. Brnzil, I. Bobo Sarmaianul din sistemul bazinelor de foreland ale Carpailor Orientali, 2002), care dei pune accent pe aspectele petrografice i sedimentologice, include i date actualizate privind fauna semnalat n principalele seciuni geologice ale bazinelor cercetate. Badenianul a constituit un alt subiect predilect al geologilor ieeni de-a lungul timpului (Ion Simionescu, Gh. Macovei, I. Atanasiu, Natalia Paghida-Trelea, Bica Ionesi). Ultimele cercetri au ca subiect fauna de brachiopode de talie mic din nordestul Platformei Moldoveneti i sunt datorate unui colectiv mai larg, ce beneficiaz de sprijinul doamnei prof. dr Aurelia Brbulescu i din care se remarc studenta Aurelia Ionela Stnculete din anul

between the Badenian and Sarmatian in some platform units etc. The promoters and exponents of this school are presently acad. prof. dr. em. Liviu Ionesi and prof. dr. em. Bica Ionesi, who have already approached the stage of synthesis papers, to integrate all aspects in a unitary vision, of critical analysis on the validity and evolution spectrum of some species, as well as of various concepts, tendencies, papers etc. Worth mentioning are recent studies on the Sarmatian from Moldova (Bica Ionesi, L. Ionesi, Viorica Muntean Contributions ltude de la fauna basarabienne de la rgion de Buzdugana-Blneti - Republica Moldova (1999-2000) and Bica Ionesi, Viorica Muntean Contributions ltude de la fauna basarabienne de la coline MguraRepublica Moldova (2001), both published in the annals of the University. Other extensive papers on the Paleontology of the Sarmatian are the monography of conf. dr. Mihai Brnzil, The Geology of the Southern Part of the Moldavian Plain, awarded with the Grigore Coblcescu prize of the Romanian Academy and Viorica Munteans PhD thesis, The Sarmatian from the Fleti-Bujor region and Prut Valley - Moldova Republic (2001). Papers with paleontologic contributions are due also to the other members of the department and of the section (Viorel Ionesi, Daniel abr etc) and not only. Worth mentioning is also the synthesis on Sarmatian deposits (C. Grasu, Crina Miclu, M. Brnzil, I. Bobo The Sarmatian from the foreland basin system of Eastern Carpathians, 2002), which is focused on petrographic and sedimentologic aspects, but also includes actual data on the fauna from the main geologic sections of the studied basins. The Badenian has also been a predilect subject for geologists from Iai (Ion Simionescu, Gh. Macovei, I. Atanasiu, Natalia Paghida-Trelea, Bica Ionesi). The newest research deals with the small-sized brachiopod fauna from the northeastern part of the Moldavian Platform and is due to prof. dr Aurelia Brbulescu and her team, of which stands out the student Aurelia Ionela Stnculete (3rd year, Technical Geology). The paleontologic study of the Mesozoic from the crystalline-mesozoic zone of the Eastern Carpathians reveals the same continuity, started by Ion Simionescu

III Geologie tehnic. Studiul paleontologic al Mezozoicului din zona cristalino-mezozoic a Carpailor Orientali, n special, relev aceeai continuitate, inaugurat tot de Ion Simionescu la sfritul secolului al XIX-lea. n ultimii ani (ca, de altfel, n ultimele patru decenii), studiile de paleontologie asupra depozitelor mezozoice aparin prof. dr. Ilie Turcule, cea mai recent sintez fiind cea asupra aptihilor din Romnia (Aptihii din Romnia, Ed. Academiei, 2001), la care se adaug alte lucrri asupra nevertebratelor mezozoice (molute, brachiopode, echinoderme etc.). Studiile palinomorfelor din diferite uniti structural-tectonice ale Romniei reprezint o alt tematic important de cercetare, iniiat i dezvoltat de prof. dr. Leonard Olaru i, abordat, n ultimul timp i de conf. dr. Corneliu Horaicu. Dintre lucrri, se impune cea a prof. dr. Leonard Olaru Using Arcritarch assemblages to correlate upper Proterozoic and lower Paleozoic metamorphic sequences in Romania , aprut la Houston (Texas2001) i care reprezint o sintez a studiilor proprii privind palinologia i biozonarea palinologic a formaiunilor cristaline din Carpaii Orientali i Dobrogea de Nord. Printre noile subiecte de studiu se nscriu preocuprile prep. drd. Daniel abr privind macro i microflora depozitelor sarmaiene din partea estic a Platformei Moldoveneti. n conturarea arhitectonicii structurale a fliului Carpailor Orientali, paleontologia a contribuit, de multe ori, cu argumente peremptorii. Tradiia ieean de cercetare a fliului (Gr. Coblcescu, L. Cosmovici, I. Simionescu, I. Atanasiu, L. Ionesi, M. Ciobanu, C. Grasu, L. Olaru) a fost rennodat de ctre noi cercettori (F. Florea, L. Bogatu, M. Turtureanu, S. Baciu, L. Popescu). Dintre studiile recente se disting cele privind nannoplanctonul din intervalul Cretacic trziu-Miocen din Unitile de Tarcu i Vrancea, efectuate de F. Florea (S.C. Geomold S.A. Cmpulung Moldovenesc), cu precizri asupra unor limite de formaiuni, contribuii biostratigrafice etc. i cele privind microfauna i biostratigrafia Formaiunii de Gura oimului datorate lui L. Popescu (Universitatea tefan cel Mare Suceava).

at the end of the XIXth century. In the last years (as in the last 4 decades), paleontological studies on the Mesozoic deposits belong to prof. dr. Ilie Turcule, with the most recent synthesis on the aptychs from Romania (Aptihii din Romnia, Ed. Academiei, 2001) to which are added other papers on Mesozoic invertebrates (moluscs, brachiopods, echinoderms etc). The studies of the palynomorphs from various structural-tectonic units of Romania represent another important research topic, initiated and developed by prof. dr. Leonard Olaru and approached lately by conf. dr. Corneliu Horaicu. Among the papers, it is worth mentioning Using Arcritarch assemblages to correlate upper Proterozoic and lower Paleozoic metamorphic sequences in Romania (Houston, Texas 2001) by prof. dr. Leonard Olaru which represents a synthesis of personal studies on the palynology and palynological biozonation of crystalline formations from the Eastern Carpathians and Northern Dobrogea. Among the newer research themes are prep. drd. Daniel abrs studies on the macro and microflora from the Sarmatian deposits from the Eastern part of the Moldavian Platform. In determining the structural architectonics of the flysch from the Eastern Carpathians, paleontology contributed several times with peremptory arguments. The tradition of Iai school in flysch studies (Gr. Coblcescu, L. Cosmovici, I. Simionescu, I. Atanasiu, L. Ionesi, M. Ciobanu, C. Grasu, L. Olaru) has been relived by new researchers (F. Florea, L. Bogatu, M. Turtureanu, S. Baciu, L. Popescu). From recent studies, we cite the ones on the Late Cretaceous Miocene nannoplancton from Tarcu and Vrancea Units, by F. Florea (S.C. Geomold S.A. Cmpulung Moldovenesc), precising formation limits, biostratigraphic contributions etc. and the ones on the microfauna and biostratigraphy of the Gura oimului Formation, by L. Popescu (tefan cel Mare University, Suceava). Other groups of studied organisms are mainly invertebrates (radiolars, tintinids, briozoans etc.), then vertebrates (fish, mammals) with more or less spectacular results. International collaborations are sustained through projects undertaken by

Alte grupe de organisme cercetate sunt, n principal, nevertebrate (radiolari, tintinide, briozoare etc.), apoi vertebratele (peti, mamifere) cu rezultate mai mult sau mai puin spectaculoase, n studii finalizate sau n curs de derulare. Colaborrile internaionale sunt realizate prin proiecte punctuale angrenate de membrii filialei i care vizeaz subiecte strict delimitate, n acest sens evideniinduse relaiile cu uniti de nvmnt sau cercetare din Austria (Viena), Anglia (Southampton), Elveia (Geneva), Germania (Kiel), Italia (Torino), Republica Moldova (Chiinu), Canada (Montreal), Suedia (Stockholm) etc. II. O alt direcie de activitate a membrilor filialei Iai const n aciuni de popularizare a Paleontologiei, i de protejarea a patrimoniului tiinific geologic, n general, i paleontologic, n special. Atragerea i susinerea studenilor n studiul diferitelor grupe de organisme fosile a reprezentat/reprezint o preocupare major. Acest deziderat s-a realizat prin deplasri n teren (n afara celor prevzute n programa didactic), cele mai frecventate fiind zonele Cmpulung Moldovenesc-Pojorta-Fundu Moldovei i Flticeni-Dolhasca (judeul Suceava), ca i Plugari-Borosoaia-Valea Miletinului i cheia (judeul Iai). Prin aceste aplicaii s-a urmrit familiarizarea studenilor cu activitatea n teren a unui paleontolog i prelevarea de probe de faun/flor. Scopul principal este acela de a extinde perspectiva asupra evoluiei vieii, de a atrage/cultiva studenii n observarea naturii, n general, i aspectelor paleontologice/geologice, n special, fr ca realizarea unor lucrri tiinifice s aib un caracter imperativ. Consecina primelor deplasri a fost nfiinarea n anul 2000 a unui club studenesc -Geopalis- cu un website propriu i care numra la sfritul acestui an universitar 25 de membri (preedinte: Elena taut; vicepreedinte: Aurelia-Ionela Stnculete; casier: Andrei Lupu). n acest mod, pentru unii studeni obligaiile didactice au fost dublate de un adevrat hobby n colectarea fosilelor (ca i colecionarea cochiliilor unor molute actuale), iar unii dintre ei au abordat i diferite aspecte ale cercetrii tiinifice (Daniel Palade, Alexandru Cezar Galan, Elena taut, Aurelia-Ionela Stnculete).

the section members, focused on strictly delimited topics; the section has relations with Universities and research centres from Austria (Viena), England (Southampton), Switzerland (Geneva), Germany (Kiel), Italy (Torino), Moldova (Chiinu), Canada (Montreal), Sweden (Stockholm) etc. II. A second activity of the members of the Iai section is represented by public conferencews on Paleontology and by the protection of the geologic and especially paleontological national heritage. Coordinating students in the study of various groups of fossil organisms represented/ /represents a major preoccupation. This was realized by field trips (other than the ones comprised in the teaching schedule). The predilect areas have been Cmpulung Moldovenesc-Pojorta-Fundu Moldovei and Flticeni-Dolhasca (Suceava county), as well as Plugari-Borosoaia-Valea Miletinului and cheia (Iai county). The field trips were supposed to help the students understand paleontologic fieldwork and sampling. The main purposes are to extend students perspective over evolution of life, to attract them in observing nature in general, and particularly paleontologic/geologic features. The consequence of the first trips was the forming in 2000 of a student club Geopalis- with its own website. The club has presently 25 members (president: Elena taut; vicepresident: Aurelia-Ionela Stnculete; treasurer: Andrei Lupu). For some students, school obligations were doubled by a real hobby in fossil-collecting and some of them approached various aspects of scientific research (Daniel Palade, Alexandru Cezar Galan, Elena taut, Aurelia-Ionela Stnculete). Most of the participating students choose for BSc paleontologic subjects. Among the most active students, we wish to cite Ana-Maria Ailinci, Carmen Bung, Gheorghe Carcale, Teodor Budac, Ctlina Elena Buhu, Izabela Alina Huzum. Another modality to attract students in the study of paleontology and eventually research was the presentation of essays on specific themes (Monica Mnesciuc, Andrei Lupu, Alin Aurel Lozneanu, Mihai Rzvan Micu, Daniel Postelnicu, Vasile Cristian Acrei, Technical Geology, IInd year).

Totodat, aproape toi studenii participani i aleg ca teme la lucrrile de licen subiecte din domeniul paleontologiei. Dintre cei mai activi studeni, dorim s menionm, pe lng cei de mai sus, pe Ana-Maria Ailinci, Carmen Bung, Gheorghe Carcale, Teodor Budac, Ctlina Elena Buhu, Izabela Alina Huzum. O alt modalitate de a atrage studenii spre Paleontologie i, eventual, cercetare a fost angrenarea n prezentarea unor referate cu teme specifice (Monica Mnesciuc, Andrei Lupu, Alin Aurel Lozneanu, Mihai Rzvan Micu, Daniel Postelnicu, Vasile Cristian Acrei, din anul II Geologie tehnic.). Pentru a sublinia tradiia i continuitatea cercetrilor paleontologice/geologice i a omagia naintaii se organizeaz, cu prilejuri aniversare, prezentarea personalitilor ieene i naionale, prin ntocmirea unor portrete tiinifice complexe, din care s reias cele mai importante contribuii. Ultima manifestare, n acest sens, a fost dedicat prof. dr. doc. Neculai Macarovici-m.c. al Acad. Rom., personalitate tiinific marcant, care a abordat un spectru larg de cercetare, de la foraminifere la mamifere. Menionarea principalelor contribuii ale paleontologilor romni este extrapolat i n relaiile cu studenii, fie n activitatea didactic sau cea de la club. Popularizarea paleontologiei, prin mijloacele mas-media, fr a fi agresiv, reprezint o alt constant la Iai. n ultimii ani, n presa local, au aprut cteva articole privind Muzeul de paleontologie, al crui custode este prof. dr. Ilie Turcule. Ultimul este cel din Evenimentul de Iai din 22 martie 2003. Datorit acestora i, n special, absolvenilor facultii noastre, muzeul este vizitat, periodic, de ctre grupuri de elevi i nu numai. Pentru c muzeul este important, nainte de toate, pentru specialiti, prin originalele care au stat la baza ntocmirii lucrrilor tiinifice, unele dintre ele unice n lume (dac ar fi s amintim doar mulajul endocranian de Hipparion), fiind deseori vizitat de paleontologi din ar i strintate. La solicitarea unor absolveni, care sunt cadre didactice n nvmntul preuniversitar membrii filialei au contribuit prin exemplare fosile la debutul sau conturarea unor colecii colare (Maricica

To highlight the tradition and the continuity of paleontologic/geologic research and to pay homage to our ancestors, we organize presentations of the personalities from Iai or elsewhere in Romania, by elaborating complex scientific portraits which point out the most important contributions. The last such manifestation was dedicated to prof. dr. doc. Neculai Macarovici - former corresponding member of the Romanian Academy, outstanding scientific personality, who approach a large spectrum of study, from foraminiferans to mammals. The main contributions of Romanian paleontologists are also extrapolated in the relations with the students, either by teaching or at the students club. Popularizing paleontology by massmedia is another constant at Iai. In the last years some articles in the local journals presented the Museum of Paleontology (custodian: prof. dr. Ilie Turcule). The most recent article is from Evenimentul de Iai, on 22 March 2003. With the help of these articles and also to our facultys former graduates the museum is periodically visited by groups of pupils and others. The museum is important firstly for specialists, by its original exponates (some of them unique in the world) presented in scientific papers (if we mention only the endocranial cast of Hipparion. At the request of some of our graduates, teachers in schools and highschools, the section members contributed with fossils for some school collection (Maricica Baciu - Iai; Marius Cuatu Focani; Vera Manu Cmpulung Moldovenesc). The protection of the paleontological (geologic) reserves from Moldova represents another aim of the Iai section, hard to accomplish because the financial situation does not allow a coherent programme on this issue. The most dramatic situation is the one of Repedea Hill - Iai, the subject of the first geology scientific paper in Romanian and which is a preferred weekend site for the locals. Moreover, limestones are ilegally quarried by locals and used for constructions nearby, even if the reserve is under the custody of the Bureau of Environment Protection. The major obstacle is an administrative issue, as the area is under the jurisdiction of the

Baciu-Iai; Marius Cuatu Focani; Vera Manu Cmpulung Moldovenesc). Protejarea rezervaiilor paleontologice (geologice) din zona Moldovei reprezint un alt deziderat al filialei de la Iai, greu realizabil, deoarece situaia financiar nu poate susine un program coerent n aceast privin. Situaia cea mai dramatic este reprezentat de Dealul Repedea-Iai, subiectul primei lucrri geologice n limba romn i care este, astzi, un important loc de petrecere a sfritului de sptmn pentru muli ieeni. Mai mult, calcarele sunt exploatate ilegal prin metode artizanale de ctre localnici i utilizate pentru construciile care se ridic n apropiere, cu toate c rezervaia se afl sub tutela Inspectoratului de protecia mediului i este coordonat de un custode. Obstacolul major este din punct de vedere administrativ, deoarece arealul se afl arondat, n cea mai mare parte, comunei Brnova, ai cror edili doresc amenajarea ca loc de petrecere a timpului liber. Intervenia noastr s-a manifestat prin ntocmirea de pliante (remarcndu-se studenii Constantin Pantilimon Platon, Valentin Chiriac, Cristian Epure mpreun cu membrii clubului Turistor), postere (Alexandru Cezar Galan i Marian Ionel), alte activiti (monitorizarea numrului de vizitatori i de maini, a vetrelor de foc etc). Se are n vedere realizarea unor panouri cu istoricul cercetrilor, fauna, date litologice, care s fac cunoscut importana Dealului Repedea printre toi ieenii. De asemenea, n funcie de rezultatele discuiilor cu edilii locali, se urmrete impunerea unor reguli i sanciuni pentru respectarea perimetrului de protecie delimitat. n ziarele ieene au aprut relativ frecvent articole care atrag atenia asupra rezervaiei, modului de comportare a turitilor, abuzurile acestora etc. Alte rezervaii, aflate sub observaie sunt cele de la Pojorta (Stratele cu Aptychus) i Fundu Moldovei (klippa triasic de pe Prul Cailor) din Sinclinalul RaruBreaza (Carpaii Orientali). Se intenioneaz i ntocmirea documentaiei pentru alte rezervaii paleontologice, dintre care cele mai importante ar fi Dealul Praca (Cmpulung Molodvenesc-Raru) i cheiaIai (Platforma Moldoveneasc). Concluzia autocritic a acestor rnduri

Brnova village. Our intervention consisted of designing and distributing leaflets (the students Constantin Pantilimon Platon, Valentin Chiriac, Cristian Epure together with the Turistor club), posters (Alexandru Cezar Galan and Marian Ionel), other activities (monitoring visitors and car numbers, fireplaces etc). We will realize some description pannels with research history, fauna, litologic data to show the importance of Repedea Hill for all people of Iai. Depending on the results of discussions with the local authorities, we hope to impose some rules for the delimited buffer area. The journals from Iai frequently attract the attention on the reserve, tourist behaviour, abuses etc. Other reserves under our observation are the ones from Pojorta (the Aptychus Beds) and Fundu Moldovei (the triasic klippe from Cailor Creek) in the Raru-Breaza Sincline (Eastern Carpathians). We intend to make the documentation for other paleontologic reserves, of which the most important are Praca Hill (Cmpulung MolodvenescRaru) and cheia-Iai (Moldavian Platform). The autocritical conclusion of these lines would be the necessity of a more dynamic activity of our section between scientific meetings and a life more extended reported to the Department of Geology-Paleontology, to which it identifies. This fact may be realized only by attracting other persons to our group (pupils, students from other faculties, other specialists in life and earth sciences etc.) and it is necessary to familiarize them with paleontology. This is because the reverse of the computerized world and its virtual alternatives cannot be other than the return toward nature, and Paleontology offers a complex and dynamic way to hope/accede to its understanding. Therefore, against advanced technology and actual priorities dependent on the immediate profit, we consider that paleontologic preoccupations will remain constant and will attract more and more the interest of the non-professionals. It will also depend on the activity and toll of us, the members of the Society! Sef lucr. dr. Paul IBULEAC RPS Vicepresident

Acest fapt poate fi realizabil doar prin cooptarea ca membri i a altor persoane (elevi, studeni de la alte faculti, ali specialiti n tiinele naturii etc.) i considerm c ar fi necesar, ca n viitor s venim n ntmpinarea lor (inclusiv a studenilor geologi) cu pliante de prezentare, conferine pe teme paleontologice i cu unele nsemne care s le confere sentimentul apartenenei la aceast societate (insigne, logo-uri aplicabile, pixuri inscripionate etc). Pentru c reversul lumii computerizate i a variantelor ei virtuale nu poate fi dect rentoarcerea spre natur, iar Paleontologia ofer o cale complex i dinamic de a spera/accede la nelegerea ei. De aceea, mpotriva tehnologiilor avansate i prioritilor actuale tributare profitului imediat, considerm c preocuprile paleontologice vor rmne constante i vor atrage tot mai mult interesul oamenilor neprofesioniti.

MANIFESTRI TIINIFICE
AL IV-LEA SIMPOZION AL SOCIETII PALEONTOLOGILOR DIN ROMNIA n aceast toamn (5-7 septembrie 2003) sa desfurat la Cluj-Napoca, cel de al Patrulea Simpozion de Paleontologie organizat de Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia i Universitatea Babe-Bolyai (Departamentul de Geologie-Paleontologie). Simpozionul demonstreaz c acest gen de manifestri ale Societii se nscrie deja ntro tradiie nceput n 1997 la Bucureti, continuat apoi la Cluj (1999) i Iai (2001). Lucrrile acestei manifestri tiinifice s-au desfurat pe patru seciuni: I. Paleontologia vertebratelor; II. Micropaleontologie; III. Paleobotanic-Palinologie; IV. Paleontologia nevertebratelor, la care s-a mai adugat i o sesiune de postere focalizate pe varii domenii. Este de remarcat spectrul larg al subiectelor dezbtute, aceasta i ca urmare a participrii unui numr consistent de specialiti de la universitile de tradiie n nvmntul geologic din Romnia (ClujNapoca, Bucureti, Iai), precum i de la alte instituii de nvmnt superior i cercetare din ara noastr. n afara acestora, contribuiile unor reputai cercettori n domeniu din: Austria, Albania, Belgia, Bulgaria, Cehia, Frana, Germania, Italia, Marea Britanie, Norvegia, Republica Moldova, Rusia, Serbia, Spania, Statele Unite i Ungaria au adus un plus de valoare i substan comunicrilor susinute. Aceasta demonstreaz n mod evident faptul c n ultimii ani au prins contur o serie de colaborri benefice ntre colectivele de paleontologi din ara noastr i colegi din instituii de cercetare i nvmnt de prestigiu din strintate. La finalul comunicrilor, a avut loc adunarea general a Societii: s-a prezentat darea de seam pe ultimii doi ani, au fost acordate premiile bianuale (Conf. Dr. Rodica Ciobanu i Prof. Dr. Leonard Olaru) i a fost realeas pentru al doilea mandatconducerea Societii. n ultima zi a simpozionului a fost organizat o aplicaie de teren pe ruta Cluj

SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS
THE IV-TH SYMPOSIUM OF THE PALEONTOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ROMANIA The IV th symposium of the Paleontological Society of Romania was held this autumn (5-7 september 2003) at Cluj-Napoca, organized by the RPS and by the BabeBolyai University (Dept. of GeologiyPaleontology). The symposium is a proof that such manifestations of the Society inscribe in a tradition started in 1997 at Bucharest, continued at Cluj (1999) and Iai (2001). The Symposium was organized on four sections: I. Vertebrate Paleontology; II. Micropaleontology; III. PaleobotanyPalinology; IV. Invertebrate Paleontology - to which was added a poster session. The large spectrum of the subjects debated is to be pointed out as a consequence of the participation of an important number of scientists from the traditional Romanian teaching and research centers (ClujNapoca, Bucureti, Iai), as well as from other institutions. The contributions of reputed scientists from Austria, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, The Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Norway, Moldova, Russia, Serbia, Spain, US and Hungary brought a plus of value and consistency to the presentations. This obviously proves that a series of fruitful colaborations exist now between Romanian paleontologists and foreign colleagues. After the presentations, the Society held its General Assembly: the mamagement presented the account for the last two years, offered the biannual awards (Conf. Dr. Rodica Ciobanu and Prof. Dr. Leonard Olaru) and then got re-elected for their second term. The field trip organized for the last day of the Symposium, on the route Cluj Napoca Cpu - Valea Neagr ( = Valea Criului) Oradea Betfia - Cluj Napoca, showed the participants the realities from the field and the richess and significance of some exceptional paleontological sites from Transylvania. Like at any other manifestation of this kind, the opinions are divided: some said it was a success and greeted the

Totodat, ca n oricare astfel de prilejuri s-a amorsat ambiana unui dialog colegial, o oportunitate pentru un fructuos schimb de opinii i idei. Ca la orice astfel de manifestare, prerile sunt mprite: unii, spun c a reuit pe deplin i au felicitat organizatorii (care organizatori au fost muli iniial, puini n cele din urm...); alii, au gsit de reproat cte ceva (fie mcar nite detalii...); n fine, alii au rmas...fr comentarii! De aceea noi, cei care l-am organizat, dorim succes deplin colegilor notri care vor pune n oper urmtorul simpozion al S.P.R. n anul 2005, la Universitatea Bucureti. Vlad A.

___________________________________ WORSHOP ON FORAMINIFERA During the Fourth Symposium of the Romanian Paleontological Society, one of the sponsors, the Grzybowski Foundation, (http://www.earthsci.ucl.ac.uk/Grzybowski/gf .htm) organized a workshop on classification of foraminifera. Focused on a major topic in micropaleontology, the meeting held on the 4th of September in the department of Geology and Paleontology of the BabeBolyai University was of a major interest, several prestigious names in the study of foraminifera being present. Prof.Dr. Johann Hohenegger (University of Viena), Dr. Alla Valeria Michalevich and Dr. Galina ProninaNestell (Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences), Dr. Roberto Rettori (Universitaty of Perugia), Dr. Michael Kaminski (University College London) Acad.Prof.Dr.Doc. Theodor Neagu (Universitaty of Bucharest), Dr. Monica Crihan (Oil and Gas University Ploiesti) and Prof.Dr Sorin Filipescu (Babe-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca) were able to respond to the invitation of the organizers.

Cei doi participani romni (I. Pric i I.I. Bucur) au reprezentat Universitatea Babe-Bolyai din Cluj-Napoca i Societatea Paleontologilor din Romnia,

The discussions were mainly fosused on the necessity of revision of the foraminiferal classification and finding of common criteria of classification with potential application in both micropaleontology and biology. Several major tasks, working groups and possible dead lines for completing the major chapters of the classification were also mentioned. Discussions on the same topic will be organized and supported by the Grzybowski Foundation during the forthcoming scientiffic meetings. Sorin FILIPESCU

___________________________________ THE RGS 2003 SCIENTIFIC MEETING The RGS Scientific meeting was held at Cluj, on 23-24 may 2003, together with the one organized by the Department of Geology from the Babe-Bolyai University. The Romanian Paleontological Society organized the Paleontology section. 10 papers were presented, nine by members of the Cluj section and one by one of our colleagues from Bucharest. The abstracts of the papers were published in a volume edited by prof. Sorin Filipescu, president of the Cluj section of the RGS and an active member of the Paleontological Society.
