The Ediacaran from the Moldova-Podillya Basin (5th stop)

Probably one of the best places during the days spent on the field was the Valcinet quarries. Here outcrop the lower and middle parts of the Dzhirzhivka Beds.



The interesting aspect is that there can be found Ediacaran fauna body fossils. Nemiana simplex is the predominant one. Additionally, trace fossils that reflect the biological activity of Ediacaran organisms can also be found.


The first abandoned quarry. The lithology is represented by massive yellowish to brownish sandstones.

A large slab with a colony of Nemiana simplex.
