THE NEW LOCATION OF THE SARMATIAN FAUNA IN THE TERRITORY OF THE DNIESTER REGION

The northern part of the Pridnestrovie is known as a territory with many geologic outcrops. On southern outskirts of the village of Oknitsa in the Kamenka district has been studied for the first time an outcrop of sandy and carbonate rocks, which is attributed to Lower Sarmatian. The strata with few or no fauna alternate with strata rich in mollusk shells. In the right part of the outcrop “belts” rich in gastropods from the family Cerithiidae can be traced.
