“…1a). The NDO experienced an extensional tectonic regime from the Early Triassic to the mid-Carnian and started to be inverted and telescoped by thrusting during the early Mesozoic Cimmerian orogeny and ending during the mid-Cretaceous Alpine tectonogenesis, being overstepped by the Vraconian-Late Cretaceous sedimentary series of the post-tectonic Babadag Basin (Mirăuţă & Mirăuţă 1964;Burchfiel & Bleahu 1976;Grădinaru 1995Grădinaru , 2004Grădinaru , 2006Lodowski et al 2019).…”

Upper Triassic (Rhaetian) foraminifera belonging to the species Glomospira charoides (Jones & Parker), Gaudryinopsis kelleri (Tappan), G. triadica (Kristan-Tollmann), Ammobaculites zlambachensis Kristan-Tollmann, Verneuilinoides racema (Trifonova), and Trochammina cf. jaunensis Brönnimann & Page were investigated using X-ray micro-computed tomography. Foraminifera were recovered from the drill core CM31 of the 817 Lebăda Vest borehole, located off the coast of Romania on the western Black Sea shelf, from depths of 2623 m to 2625 m. Tomographic data was used to generate digital models, which were then virtually sectioned in desirable ways. The acquired transects can be used for comparison with specimens viewed in thin sections, providing a better connection between specimens recovered from residues and those observed in thin sections using transmitted light microscopy.
