10.1. SEDIMENT ACCUMULATION AREAS IN THE DACIAN BASIN The areal distribution of the sediment thickness reveals the contour and the morphology of the Dacian Basin depositional surface. The areal distribution of the sediment thickness during the development of the Dacian Basin in the Late Neogene indicates the existence of two separate areas of sedimentary accumulation (depocenters). The depocenters are delineated by roughly concentric isopachs, with one or more areas of maximum thickness values. This way, an eastern accumulation area and a western accumulation area are identified and delineated. In the Middle Sarmatian (s.l.) – Romanian interval, the two sediment accumulation areas were separated. The sediment thickness variations produced in this interval refer to the contour of the areas and the distribution model of the sediment thickness for each area. The eastern sediment accumulation area. This unit extends from the north-eastern extremity to the western area of the Dacian Basin (Fig. 10.1). In the time period from the Middle-Late Sarmatian (s.l.) to the Romanian, the eastern area extended continuously toward the west and the south. During the Maeotian, the eastern depocenter of the Dacian Basin widened (Fig. 10.1 B), suggesting an enlargement of the basin trough in comparison to the Middle-Late Sarmatian (s.l.). During the Pontian, the eastern Dacian Basin depocenter extended westward along the main axis of the sedimentary trough (Figs. 10.1 C and D). This indicates that the rate of the detrital material input in the eastern area was maintained or even increased during the development of the Dacian Basin (Jipa, 1997). The western sedimentary area is the second, smaller depocenter of the Dacian Basin, representing approximately one third of the eastern accumulation area (Fig. 10.2). 212 Chapter 10 HISTORY OF THE DACIAN BASIN SEDIMENT ACCUMULATION
