hello dear paleonetters, I'm quite new on this mailinglist and housed at the university of Leuven making a PhD on uppermost Cretaceous ammonites I've a question that reaches far beyond my PhD subject; one of our master students here sampled this summer at Varna famous rocksite Pobitite kamana (NE Bulgaria). Strange looking landscape formed by eocene sandstone several m high hollow pillars. Theories on algal buildups and cold vents have ben circulating in the past, together with temples of the Roman period, fossil forest, etc She is now testing the different hypothesies (especially from the sedimentological point of view) and is therefore interested in the paleobiology of the different fossils foud within (are there species found which could be related to chemosynthesi, or are all normal saline or high energy environments etc..) So, because I did not found any literature on this topic yet (even not a description of all the described occuring fossils yet, and ths should be existing, because I cannot believe this strange landscape did not attract paleontologists in the past) (I'm not into the bulgarian stratigraphy and paleontology at all) so anyone who can help us to go further on this subject please let me know friendly greetings stijn ---------------------------------- Stijn Goolaerts IWT research assistant Research Group Stratigraphy, Department Geology-Geography, KU Leuven Redingenstraat 16 B-3000 LEUVEN BELGIUM email: stijn.goolaerts@geo.kuleuven.ac.be tel ++32 16 32 64 52 fax ++32 16 32 64 01 URL : www.kuleuven.ac.be/geology/hsg
