Rezumat

The Carpathian foreland contains several important fossiliferous sites where remains of marine vertebrates were found, their study being among the most long-lived paleontological research taken on the Romanian territory. As such, two main areas of interest have been identified, where a number of important marine vertebrate specimens are easily found (Fig. 1): Southern Dobrogea (part of the Moesian Platform) and northern Moldavia (part of the Moldavian Platform), only a few specimens being reported or described from a few sites in the Carpathian Foredeep. The research carried out in these areas yielded abundant marine vertebrate specimens, belonging to seals, cetaceans, bony fish, and marine birds, that seem to be endemic to the Paratethys, an epicontinental sea that covered a wide surface of Eurasia, spanning from Western Europe to Central Asia. Although, recently, several authors have shed a new light on the marine vertebrate remains of the Moldavian Platform, the remains from Southern Dobrogea and southwestern Romania, and also fossils housed in institutional collections still remain assigned to the same taxonomic ranks as when they were first discovered. From that time since the present new material pertaining to marine vertebrates was discovered, and a better understanding of the taxonomy of these animals has been achieved. As such, an important step is that of reappraising the material that was previously discovered and updating the taxonomic nomenclature. Moreover, in several sites of Southern Dobrogea, cetaceans and bony fish were only briefly mentioned, but never described and their addition will help to gain a better understanding of the faunal assemblage of said area.
