Abstract

<p> Microfacies and micropalaeontologic studies on some limestone samples collected within the Sc&abreve;ri&scedil;oara Glacier Cave are presented. The investigation pointed out that the age of the limestone around Sc&abreve;ri&scedil;oara Cave is of Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) age and not Triassic as it was considered in most of the studies.</p>
