DACIAN BASIN - GeoEcoMar

10.2. Dacian Basin paleocurrent pattern
Paleocurrents in the central Dacian Basin. The rose diagram of the paleocurrents
data from the area between Ialomiţa and Dâmboviţa Rivers (Fig. 10.4 C) indicates a
flow direction toward the south-west. The angular dispersion is important, but the
dominant direction clearly shows oblique currents compared to the orientation of
the basin axis.
Paleocurrents in the western Dacian Basin. Measurements of the current structure
orientation in the central-western part of the Dacian Basin produced rose diagrams
with large dispersion around the north-south direction. The modal angular sectors
indicate current directions toward the south-west, the south and the south-east
(Fig. 10.4 D). The data from the area between Otăsău and Olteţ Rivers (Fig. 10.4 E)
indicate paleoflows toward the south.
