  Abstract:  Marine red beds crop out in almost all the tectonic units of the Romanian Carpathians, extending from the Albian/Cenomanian boundary interval up to the end of the Cretaceous. A particular occurrence is known from the Romanian Carpathian bend area, including the Ialomiţa River basin, where the red bed deposition encompasses the late Campanian-Paleocene interval. The studied section is located in the Ialomiţa Valley (at the southern end of the Eastern Carpathians) and consists mainly of marls with abundant microfossils (foraminiferal and calcareous nannofossil assemblages). We sampled the section at 1-m intervals between meter 0 and 80, and each 20 cm interval for the upper part, a total of 112 samples being collected and investigated.
