O colecţie muzeală unicat: peşti fosili oligoceni de la Piatra-Neamţ

  • Subiect: Fishes are the main component of the vertebrate fossil record across all stages in the history of the Earth. An impressive fish fauna was collected and described from Oligocene deposits in all the Paratethys area: Iran, Caucasus, Romania, Poland, Czech, Switzerland, Germany and France. Even since the 19th century the systematically and biogeographically significant Oligocene to Miocene fish fauna has been collected from the External Flysch of the East Carpathians in Romania. In 1883, Leon C. Cosmovici collected the first fish fossils from the Cozla Mountain, Piatra-Neamţ area and also published a first monograph on the subject. M. Ciobanu continues the study of fish fossils from Piatra-Neamţ and based on the fossil material he organized in 1969 the Natural Science Museum; Ciobanu published the second Romanian monograph about Oligocene fauna from Piatra-Neamţ. Currently, from the museum's palaeontology collection, a total of 60 specimens of fossil fish are inventoried at Thesaurus, National Heritage, while Oligocene fish collection is the most important scientific collection of its kind in the country and one of the most important in Europe thus joining similar collections at museums from Moscow, Wroclaw, Brno, Vienna, Darmstadt, Paris.
